FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the VL Court Bold is a lifestyle trainer designed for casual daily use rather than high-performance athletics or running.
Does the platform sole make the shoe heavy?
While the platform adds some weight compared to ultra-light foam sneakers, it is designed to remain balanced for all-day wear.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather upper and affect the adhesive on the platform sole. Stick to manual surface cleaning.
Are these true to size?
Most users find these to fit standard sizing; however, since they are made of leather, they may have a slight break-in period.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed from high-quality leather, which provides durability and a premium finish.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure you are using a double knot or checking that the laces are not worn smooth; replace with new laces if necessary.
Leather surface showing scuffs
Use a leather cleaner specifically formulated for trainers and apply a protective spray to prevent future damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your VL Court Bold trainers remain in excellent condition:
- Fitting: Adjust the laces to achieve a snug but comfortable fit that prevents heel slippage.
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh industrial cleaners.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or fading.
- Conditioning: Use a leather-safe conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent scuffing.
