FAQs

What size should I order?

These sneakers are described as having a 'Regular fit'. Refer to the size guide provided by the retailer or consider your usual shoe size. The specific model provided is a UK 11.

How do I clean the contrasting leather band?

The contrasting band is also made of leather. Clean it gently with a soft, damp cloth. For stains, use a cleaner specifically designed for leather, testing in a hidden spot first.

Can these sneakers be worn in wet weather?

While the rubber sole offers some protection, the leather upper is not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain and to use a leather protector spray for moderate moisture resistance.

What is the heel height?

The heel height is approximately 2.5 cm.

Are these suitable for athletic performance?

No, these are fashion trainers designed for style and comfort in everyday wear. They do not provide the specialized support or cushioning required for strenuous athletic activities.

What is the material composition?

The upper and lining are made of 100% calf leather, and the sole is 100% rubber.

Do they come with multiple lace options?

Yes, the product description mentions that double laces are supplied, allowing for customization.

Troubleshooting

Laces fraying or getting dirty.

Use the provided second set of laces or replace with new laces of similar quality. Clean laces gently with mild soap and water.

Leather creasing or showing scuffs.

Minor creases are natural with leather. For scuffs, use a leather conditioner or a specific leather repair product. Professional cleaning or repair may be necessary for significant damage.

Rubber sole becoming discolored or dirty.

Clean the rubber sole with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, a magic eraser can be used cautiously on the rubber parts only.

Discomfort after initial wear.

Leather shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the lacing is adjusted for optimal comfort.
