FAQs
How do I clean the premium leather of my Paul Smith Lee Trainers?
For routine cleaning, wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner following the product's instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Are these trainers true to size?
Paul Smith sizing can sometimes vary. We recommend referring to the brand's official size guide if available or trying them on to ensure the best fit. Your UK size 10 should generally be a good starting point.
Can I wear these trainers in rainy weather?
While the leather is durable, it's best to avoid heavy rain to protect the material. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally and consider using a leather protector spray for water resistance.
What kind of socks should I wear with these trainers?
For optimal comfort and to protect the leather lining, wear good quality cotton or performance blend socks. The thickness of your socks can also affect the fit.
How often should I condition the leather?
Conditioning depends on frequency of wear and environmental conditions. As a general rule, condition the leather every 1-3 months to keep it supple and prevent drying or cracking.
What outfits best complement the beige color?
Beige is a versatile neutral. It pairs well with earthy tones, blues, whites, greys, and even black. It's excellent for creating a sophisticated smart-casual look or elevating a simple casual outfit.
Is the striped heel tab durable?
Yes, the distinctive striped heel tab is designed to be durable and is an integral part of the trainer's aesthetic. Normal wear should not cause issues, but avoid excessive friction or sharp objects.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dull or scuffed.
Clean the area gently with a damp cloth, then apply a small amount of leather conditioner or a neutral shoe polish using a soft brush or cloth. Buff to a shine.
Trainers feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Try re-lacing them, ensuring not to overtighten. Leather trainers can sometimes stretch slightly over time to conform to your foot.
Squeaking sound when walking.
Often caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's sole. Try removing the insole, cleaning underneath, and then reinserting it. A thin layer of baby powder under the insole can sometimes help.
Laces frequently come undone.
Try a double knot, or explore different lacing techniques that offer a more secure hold. Ensure laces are not excessively worn or smooth.

Care & Maintenance
To ensure your Paul Smith Lee Trainers remain in excellent condition, follow these care steps:
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the leather surfaces with a clean, damp cloth after each wear to remove dust and light dirt. For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner.
- Conditioning: Apply a high-quality leather conditioner every few weeks or months (depending on wear) to keep the leather soft, supple, and prevent drying or cracking.
- Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains, especially if you anticipate wearing them in various weather conditions.
- Drying: If they get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb any residual moisture. Keep them away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration.
