FAQs
What type of leather are the Saint Laurent Lewis Sneakers made from?
They are made from 100% calfskin leather.
Are these sneakers suitable for wide feet?
The fit can vary. The laced front allows for some adjustability, but they are designed as standard width. Trying them on is recommended if possible.
How should I clean the rubber sole?
You can clean the rubber sole with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure it is dried thoroughly afterwards.
Can I wear these sneakers in wet weather?
While the rubber sole offers some protection, calfskin leather is best kept dry. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions and to use a leather protector spray for water resistance.
What is the main difference between the low shoes and trainers versions?
The 'Low Shoes' typically refer to a classic low-top sneaker silhouette, while 'Trainers' might imply a slightly sportier design or construction, though both are intended for casual wear in this context.
How do I care for the elasticized heel counter?
The elasticized heel counter requires no special care beyond general cleaning. Avoid stretching it excessively when putting on or taking off the shoes to maintain its elasticity.
What occasion are these sneakers best suited for?
These sneakers are ideal for everyday casual wear, city outings, and smart-casual occasions. They pair well with jeans, shorts, and casual trousers.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dry or creased
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner using a soft cloth and buff gently. Ensure the shoes are stored properly away from heat.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
The rubber sole provides traction, but extreme conditions may vary. Ensure the soles are clean. For added grip, consider a professional resoling with a more specialized tread if consistently walking on very slick surfaces.
Laces are difficult to tie or keep tied
Ensure the laces are threaded correctly through the eyelets. If they consistently come undone, try a different lacing knot or consider replacing the laces with a textured pair.
Minor scuffs on the leather
For light scuffs, try buffing with a soft cloth. For deeper scuffs, use a matching color leather polish or balm and apply sparingly with a soft cloth, then buff to a shine.
