FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, the Pilota series is designed as a fashion-forward trainer for casual, everyday walking and is not engineered for athletic performance or running.

How do I determine my size?

These trainers use standard UK sizing. We recommend selecting your usual size, keeping in mind that the leather interior may feel snug initially before molding to your foot.

Can I clean these in a washing machine?

Absolutely not. Machine washing will permanently damage the suede exterior and compromise the leather lining and structural integrity of the shoe.

Does the colour fade?

Like all dyed suede, prolonged exposure to direct, harsh sunlight can cause fading. Proper storage in a box or dark closet when not in use is recommended.

Are they water-resistant?

While the rubber outsole provides a barrier from the ground, the suede upper is naturally porous. We strongly recommend applying a waterproofing spray to improve resistance.

Is the insole removable?

The insole is integrated into the design to ensure comfort and anatomical support consistent with Baldinini quality standards.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or matted

Use a soft-bristled suede brush to restore the nap of the leather by brushing in one direction.

Water spots or light stains

Use a suede eraser to gently buff the stained area until the mark lifts, then brush the area to blend the texture.

Shoes feel too snug

Since the interior is high-quality leather, the shoes will naturally stretch and mold to your foot shape over time; try thinner socks during the break-in period.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Pilota trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:

  1. Protection: Apply a high-quality suede protector spray before the first wear to guard against water and dust.
  2. Cleaning: Never submerge in water. Use a specialized suede brush to remove dried dirt gently. For stubborn marks, use a dedicated suede eraser.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the blue suede over time. Use shoe trees to help retain the shape.
  4. Compatibility: These trainers pair best with casual tailored trousers, chinos, or well-fitted denim. Avoid wearing in heavy rain or muddy conditions, as suede is highly absorbent.
