FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?

While designed for a standard fit, the leather upper may offer some flexibility. The removable insole can also allow for adjustments. For specific width fitting, consulting a footwear specialist or checking the brand's detailed fit guide is recommended.

How do I clean the recycled materials?

The care instructions for the leather generally apply. For any visible recycled material components, gentle wiping with a damp cloth is advised. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

These trainers are made of leather and are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. They are not waterproof. For heavy rain, it is advisable to wear footwear designed for wet weather.

What is the origin of the leather used?

The product information states the trainers feature a leather upper, insole, and lining, and are handmade in Portugal. Specific details on the leather's origin would need to be confirmed with the brand.

How durable are the recycled components?

The recycled materials are incorporated into the design for sustainability. Durability would depend on the specific component and its application within the trainer's construction, but they are integrated into a shoe designed for everyday wear.

What is the return policy if the size is incorrect?

Return policies are determined by the retailer. Please check the specific retailer's website or contact their customer service for information on returns and exchanges based on sizing.

Do these trainers offer arch support?

The trainers come with a removable insole. While this provides a basic level of cushioning, they may not offer significant built-in arch support. Adding a custom or supportive insole is an option if more arch support is desired.

Troubleshooting

Leather creasing or stiffness

Ensure the shoes are the correct size. Use a leather conditioner regularly to keep the material supple and minimize creasing.

Discomfort after initial wear

Leather shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially. If discomfort persists, consider using the removable insole for a different fit or trying an orthotic insert.

Scuff marks on leather

Minor scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, use a matching color leather polish or a specialized leather repair kit.

  • Orthotics: The removable insole allows for easy insertion of custom or standard orthotic inserts.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: For the leather upper, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. For stubborn marks, a specialized leather cleaner can be used sparingly. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  • Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent drying or cracking.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape when not in use.
