FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While inspired by 60s running designs, these are lifestyle trainers intended for casual wear and walking, not for long-distance athletic running.
How do I ensure the right fit?
These trainers are sized as UK 8.5. We recommend measuring your foot in the afternoon when it is at its largest to ensure a comfortable fit.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather materials and the adhesives used in the construction. Stick to manual spot cleaning.
Are the laces replaceable?
Yes, you can swap the standard laces with any compatible flat or oval trainer lace if you prefer a different color or length.
Does the leather require conditioning?
Using a quality leather conditioner occasionally will help keep the material supple and prevent cracking, especially in dry climates.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on leather upper
Use a slightly damp cloth to wipe the area gently, then buff with a dry, soft cloth.
Outsole loses traction
Clean the rubber sole with a damp brush to remove pebbles or dried debris that may be obstructing the tread.
Insole comfort decreases over time
Consider replacing the original insole with a high-quality aftermarket orthotic insert if you require additional arch support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers feature leather materials, proper care is essential to maintain their appearance and structural integrity. Avoid submerging the shoes in water; instead, use a soft cloth or a brush to remove surface dirt. For deeper stains on the leather, use a professional leather cleaner designed for footwear. To maintain the breathability of the mesh lining, ensure the shoes are allowed to air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the materials to warp or degrade. Keep the laces secure to ensure the heel support functions correctly, and store them in a cool, dry place when not in use.
