FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the adhesives holding the sole. Always clean by hand.
Can I use these for running?
These are designed for casual lifestyle use. They do not contain the technical stability features required for dedicated running.
What is the best way to clean the EVA outsole?
Use a soft-bristle brush and mild soapy water to gently scrub away dirt from the grooves of the outsole.
Do these trainers run true to size?
Yes, they typically fit standard UK sizing. If you have wider feet, you may find the leather upper accommodates you well after a short break-in period.
Is the leather water-resistant?
While leather provides a barrier against light splashes, it is not waterproof. Avoid heavy rain to prevent water spots.
Troubleshooting
Leather looks dull or loses its shine
Apply a mild leather conditioner or neutral cream polish to restore the natural luster of the material.
Creasing in the toe box
Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather footwear; using cedar shoe trees after wear can help mitigate deep creases.
Laces coming undone
Ensure you are using a double knot or a secure reef knot, as rounder laces may slip more easily than flat ones.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers last, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, allow for a few days of light wear for the leather to soften and conform to your foot.
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can crack or warp the leather.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place and use a shoe tree or stuffed paper to help maintain the shape when not in use.
- Compatibility: These trainers feature a standard UK sizing profile. If you have specific orthotic inserts, the stock insole can typically be removed to accommodate custom liners.
