FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?

The standard fit is designed for typical adult female feet. While the leather offers some flexibility, they may not be ideal for exceptionally wide feet without trying them on first.

How do I clean the recycled materials used?

For the leather components, follow the care instructions above. Specific parts made from recycled materials should be cleaned according to the general leather care advice unless otherwise specified.

Can the insoles be replaced with custom orthotics?

Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics or preferred insoles for a personalized fit and support.

What is the primary benefit of the leather lining?

The leather lining enhances breathability and comfort, wicking away moisture and providing a soft feel against the skin for all-day wear.

Are these trainers waterproof?

The trainers are made of leather and may have some water resistance, but they are not fully waterproof. Applying a waterproofing spray can improve protection against light rain and moisture.

How does 'Handmade in Portugal' impact quality?

Handmade construction often implies greater attention to detail, use of traditional techniques, and higher overall quality control compared to mass-produced footwear.

Troubleshooting

Leather appears dry or stiff

Apply a suitable leather conditioner to restore moisture and suppleness. Ensure you are not exposing the trainers to excessive heat or prolonged direct sunlight.

Discomfort due to fit

If the fit is tight, try removing the insole to create more space. If discomfort persists, the sizing may not be suitable for your foot shape.

Scuffs or minor scratches on leather

Use a leather cleaner or polish that matches the brown color to gently buff out minor marks. For deeper scratches, professional leather repair may be necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort.

Compatibility: Designed for adult females, these trainers pair well with a variety of casual wear, including jeans, trousers, skirts, and casual dresses. The UK size 9 fit is specific.

Care: To maintain the quality and appearance of the leather:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the surface with a slightly damp cloth to remove dirt. Avoid soaking the leather.
  2. Conditioning: Use a dedicated leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent drying or cracking. Apply sparingly and buff off any excess.
  3. Protection: Consider a waterproofing spray suitable for leather to protect against moisture and stains. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape when not in use.
