FAQs
What material are these trainers made from?
These Paul Smith Lee Trainers are crafted from premium leather, offering both durability and a luxurious feel.
How should I clean my leather trainers?
For best results, wipe them clean with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning or scuffs, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner, following the product's instructions. Always air dry.
Are these trainers suitable for all-day wear?
Yes, thanks to their cushioned insole and padded collar, these trainers are designed for enhanced comfort, making them suitable for extended wear.
What kind of outfits do these trainers complement?
With their clean lines and minimalist design, they are a versatile addition to any modern wardrobe, perfect for both casual and smart-casual attire, including jeans, chinos, or tailored trousers.
Do I need to 'break in' these leather trainers?
As with most quality leather footwear, a short break-in period may be beneficial to allow the leather to soften and mold to your feet for optimal comfort.
Is the striped heel tab part of the design or removable?
The distinctive striped heel tab is an integrated design feature, adding a subtle pop of personality to the trainers and is not removable.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, these leather trainers are not inherently waterproof. While they can withstand light moisture, prolonged exposure to water should be avoided. A leather protector spray can offer some water resistance.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dull or scuffed
Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth. Apply a quality leather conditioner to restore shine and moisture. For deeper scuffs, a specialized leather balm may be needed.
Trainers feel stiff initially or uncomfortable
Wear them for short periods at first to allow the leather to naturally conform to your foot shape. This 'break-in' period is common for premium leather footwear. Ensure your socks are comfortable and not bunched up.
Laces come undone easily
Ensure laces are tied securely using a double knot if necessary. Over time, new laces can soften, improving knot retention. You may also consider replacing worn laces.
Unpleasant odor develops
Allow trainers to air out completely after each wear. Consider using shoe deodorizers or cedar shoe trees to absorb moisture and neutralize odors. Avoid storing them in confined, unventilated spaces.
Sole shows signs of premature wear
While the durable rubber sole is designed for longevity, excessive friction or specific terrains can accelerate wear. Info needed: If wear seems unusual for typical use, consult retailer for assessment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Lacing: Ensure the trainers are laced properly. Start from the lowest eyelets and cross the laces over, feeding them through each subsequent eyelet. Tighten them to a comfortable fit, allowing for natural foot movement without being too loose or too constricting.
- Initial Wear: As these are premium leather trainers, a short 'break-in' period is often beneficial. Wear them for shorter durations initially to allow the leather to soften and mold to the unique contours of your feet.
Compatibility:
These trainers are designed to be highly versatile. Their minimalist aesthetic makes them compatible with a wide range of wardrobe styles, from casual denim and t-shirts to smart-casual chinos, shirts, or even unlined suits for a modern, relaxed look. Their blue color offers a sophisticated alternative to black or white, pairing well with neutral tones, blues, and greys.
Care:
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your leather trainers.
- Cleaning: After each wear, gently wipe off any dirt or dust with a soft, dry cloth. For more stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth and then air dry. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Leather Conditioning: Regularly apply a high-quality leather conditioner, following the product's instructions. This helps to keep the leather supple, prevents drying and cracking, and maintains its luxurious feel. Aim for conditioning every few weeks or once a month, depending on usage.
- Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray before the first wear and periodically thereafter. This can help repel water and stains.
- Storage: When not in use, store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees (preferably cedar) to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture and odor.
- Avoid Water Immersion: Do not submerge your trainers in water. If they get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources.
