FAQs
Are these true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing, but the structured leather may feel tighter at first compared to fabric sneakers.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No. Never put leather trainers in a washing machine, as the water and heat will permanently damage the leather and the adhesive bonding the sole.
How do I adjust the midfoot strap?
The strap is concealed within the design to keep the silhouette clean; simply adjust the tension beneath the tongue area to achieve your preferred snugness.
Are these suitable for sports?
These are luxury lifestyle trainers, not performance athletic shoes, and are not designed for high-impact activities or gym use.
What is the best way to store them?
Store them in a dust bag in a cool, dry place and insert shoe trees to retain the shape of the leather upper.
Troubleshooting
Creasing at the toe box
This is natural for high-quality leather. Use shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the original shape and minimize deep creasing.
Scuffs on the white leather
Use a specialized leather eraser or a soft cloth with a tiny amount of leather cleaner designed specifically for smooth white finishes.
Stiff leather feel during initial wear
Wear the shoes with slightly thicker cotton socks initially and ensure they are properly laced or secured with the strap to allow the leather to flex gradually.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers are made of smooth calf leather, initial wear should be limited to short periods to allow the material to soften. To protect the white finish, apply a leather-specific water and stain repellent spray before the first use. Clean the leather using a soft, slightly damp cloth; avoid harsh detergents that may strip the finish. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prevent leather discoloration or cracking. Use a leather conditioner every few months to keep the material supple.
