FAQs
Are these leather trainers waterproof?
While the leather is more water-resistant than canvas, they are not fully waterproof and should not be submerged in deep water.
Do I need to size up for the leather version?
Generally, the Chuck 70 fits true to size, but if you prefer wearing thicker socks, some users find a half-size up is more comfortable.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can cause the leather to stiffen and damage the rubber elements of the shoe.
Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance?
While based on basketball shoes, they are primarily lifestyle trainers intended for casual wear, not intense sports.
How do I maintain the purple colour?
Keep the shoes away from direct sunlight for extended periods to prevent potential fading and use a leather conditioner to keep the colour vibrant.
What does the MPN code signify?
The MPN (Manufacturer Part Number) identifies the specific model, colourway, and size to ensure you receive the correct product variant.
Troubleshooting
The leather feels stiff out of the box
Wear the trainers for short periods around the house with thick socks to gently stretch and soften the material.
Scuffs appearing on the white rubber toe cap
Use a magic eraser or a damp cloth with mild soap to gently buff away marks from the rubber surface.
Creasing in the leather near the toes
Leather creasing is normal during use; use shoe trees when not wearing to help maintain the original shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers are made of premium leather, proper care is essential for maintaining their appearance and extending their lifespan. Avoid machine washing, as the heat and agitation can damage the leather finish and adhesive bonds. Instead, use a damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt and a dedicated leather cleaner or conditioner periodically to prevent the material from drying out or cracking. For optimal sizing, ensure you consult a standard UK sizing chart before ordering. Because they are unisex, always double-check the adult foot UK size measurements to ensure a perfect fit, as they may fit differently than slim-profile fashion sneakers.
