How should I clean the leather?
Use a damp, soft cloth to wipe down the leather. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents.

Yes, they are designed to fit standard adult sizing, though the high-top structure provides a snug feel.
Can I replace the insoles?
The insoles are generally removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if needed.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed from premium, durable leather.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the toe box
Use a shoe tree when not wearing the trainers to help the leather retain its structure.
Difficulty putting on the shoe
Fully loosen the laces from the top eyelets to widen the opening before sliding your foot in.
Dirty outsole or leather
Use a soft brush to remove loose debris, followed by a damp cloth with mild soap for surface cleaning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these sneakers arrive ready to wear, no mechanical setup is required. To maintain the premium leather finish, avoid exposure to harsh chemicals or extreme moisture. If the trainers become dirty, gently wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner and a soft-bristled brush. It is recommended to use a shoe tree when not in use to maintain the shoe's shape and minimize natural creasing in the leather. Ensure proper sizing before walking long distances, as the firm leather requires a brief break-in period to achieve an optimal fit.
