FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for rainy weather?
Suede is highly susceptible to water damage. It is recommended to avoid wearing these in heavy rain or mud, or ensure they are heavily treated with a professional-grade waterproofing spray.
How do I determine the right fit?
The Pilota trainers are sized in UK measurements. We recommend comparing your standard shoe size to a UK-sized chart to ensure the correct fit for your foot length.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
No, you should never submerge suede or leather shoes in water or place them in a washing machine, as this will permanently damage the materials.
What is the primary material used for the exterior?
The exterior is constructed from a combination of high-quality suede and leather, featuring perforations for breathability.
Are the insoles removable?
The insoles are designed for comfort and are typically integrated into the shoe's construction. We do not recommend removing them.
How should I store them when not in use?
Store them in a breathable dust bag or box in a temperature-controlled environment away from direct sunlight.
Troubleshooting
Visible dust or dry dirt on the suede
Use a dry suede brush in a single direction to lift the fibers and remove the dust.
Creasing at the toe box
Insert wooden shoe trees immediately after taking off the shoes to help the leather recover its natural shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Baldinini Pilota trainers last as long as possible, follow these care guidelines:
- Protection: Before the first wear, apply a suede-specific water and stain repellent spray to create a protective barrier.
- Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove surface dust and debris after each wear. For minor stains, a suede eraser can be used gently.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the blue color to fade over time. Use shoe trees to help maintain the leather's shape.
- Moisture Control: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from artificial heat sources like radiators, which can warp or crack the leather components.
