Yes, they generally fit true to size. However, because they have a slim silhouette, those with wider feet may prefer to go up a half size.
While originally a handball shoe, current models are designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear. They lack the technical support required for modern competitive sports.
Use a soft brush and a mixture of mild soap and warm water. Wipe clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry naturally.
While the oiled leather provides some water resistance, these shoes are not waterproof. We recommend using a leather-safe water-repellent spray if you plan to wear them in damp conditions.
The product includes the standard laces pre-threaded. Check the packaging box for any additional items, though standard replacement laces are available through most retailers.
This is a natural occurrence with leather trainers. Use a shoe tree when not in use to help the leather retain its shape.
Ensure the laces are threaded through the top eyelets for a more secure fit, or swap for slightly longer laces if a double knot is needed.
Gently buff the area with a specialized leather cream or a clean cloth to blend the scuff back into the oiled leather finish.
Because these trainers feature an oiled leather finish, maintenance is key to their longevity. To set up, simply loosen the laces fully before inserting your foot to prevent heel friction. For care, use a soft, dry brush to remove surface dust regularly. For deeper cleaning, apply a leather-specific cleaner or conditioner to maintain the suppleness of the oiled material. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the leather and the adhesives holding the gum sole in place. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
