FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the 480 is designed as a lifestyle trainer for casual wear, not for athletic running.
How do I clean white leather trainers?
Use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals and never put them in the washing machine.
Is the leather upper waterproof?
While leather provides some water resistance, these shoes are not waterproof and should not be worn in heavy rain.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard adult sizing, though if you prefer a roomier fit for thicker socks, consider this before purchasing.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable if you need to insert custom orthotics.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The 480 has a standard fit; if you have particularly wide feet, you may find the leather slightly snug initially.
Troubleshooting
Visible scuffs on the leather
Use a specialized leather eraser or a damp cloth with mild soap to gently buff away surface marks.
Stiff feel upon first wear
Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow the leather to naturally soften and stretch to your foot shape.
White leather looking dull
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner to maintain the material's suppleness and natural shine.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers arrive ready to wear straight from the box, though a short break-in period may be necessary for the leather to contour perfectly to your foot shape. To keep the white leather looking fresh, wipe down the exterior with a soft, damp cloth after use to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft brush. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this can degrade the material and adhesives. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the white leather from yellowing over time.
