FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?

The product information does not specify width options. These are standard fit trainers. For wider feet, it is recommended to try them on in person or check with the retailer for available width fittings.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the leather upper can be treated for water resistance, these trainers are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the material.

How often should I condition the leather?

Conditioning frequency depends on usage and climate. Generally, conditioning every 3-6 months is recommended, or whenever the leather appears dry.

What does 'Handmade in Portugal' signify?

This indicates that the trainers have been manufactured in Portugal, a region known for its skilled shoemaking traditions and high-quality footwear production.

Can the insole be replaced with a medical orthotic?

Yes, the trainers feature a removable insole, allowing you to replace it with your own custom orthotics or preferred insoles for added support.

What is the primary benefit of the recycled materials?

The use of recycled materials contributes to sustainability by reducing waste and the environmental impact associated with manufacturing new materials.

Troubleshooting

Leather scuffing or minor damage

Use a leather repair kit or colour-matched polish to touch up scuffs. For deeper damage, consult a professional cobbler.

Discomfort or pressure points

Ensure the correct size is selected. If discomfort persists, try wearing them for shorter periods initially to break them in, or utilize the removable insole feature to insert a preferred cushioning or support insert.

Squeaking sound

This can sometimes occur with new leather shoes. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole or between the tongue and laces to reduce friction.
