FAQs
What is the primary material of the Y-3 Field Shoes?
The primary material for the uppers is smooth calfskin leather.
How should I clean the leather upper?

Are these shoes true to size?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable
Ensure the laces are adjusted properly. Leather will naturally mold to the foot with wear. If discomfort persists after a break-in period, consider the sizing may not be ideal for your foot shape.
Leather scuffs or shows marks
For light scuffs, try buffing with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, use a dedicated leather cleaner or conditioner suitable for calfskin. Avoid abrasive cleaning methods.
Rubber sole shows wear
Regular cleaning with a damp cloth will help maintain the sole's appearance. Minor wear is normal for footwear; avoid excessive exposure to rough terrains.
