FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for all-day wear?
Yes, the Josef Seibel Claire 03 Trainers are designed with a thick sole and ample internal cushioning specifically to provide supportive and lasting comfort, making them ideal for all-day wear during everyday activities.
Can I remove the insoles if I need to use my own orthotics?
Absolutely. These trainers feature removable insoles, allowing you to easily swap them out for personal orthotics or specialized inserts for a customized fit and enhanced comfort.
How do I clean the leather upper?
To clean the leather uppers, gently wipe them with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt. For a deeper clean and to maintain the leather's quality, use a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner. Always allow them to air dry naturally.
What is the primary material used for the trainers?
The main material for the uppers of the Josef Seibel Claire 03 Trainers is high-quality leather, offering durability and a premium feel. The lining is a blend of leather and textile, and the sole is made of rubber.
Are these trainers waterproof?
While the leather offers some natural resistance, these trainers are not fully waterproof. We recommend applying a suitable leather protector or water-repellent spray to enhance their resistance to moisture if you plan to wear them in damp conditions.
What does 'Standard Fitting' mean?
The `Standard Fitting` indicates that these trainers are designed to comfortably accommodate average foot widths. If you typically wear standard-width shoes, these should provide a good fit.
Troubleshooting
My trainers feel too tight or too loose.
First, adjust the lace-up fastening to achieve a more customized fit. If they still feel uncomfortable, check if the removable insoles are properly seated or consider replacing them with thinner/thicker alternatives if needed.
The leather uppers are looking dull or scuffed.
Clean the leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove any surface dirt. Then, apply a high-quality leather conditioner specifically designed for footwear to restore its luster and moisture. For scuffs, a leather balm or polish matching the shoe's color can help.
I hear a squeaking sound when I walk.
This can often be caused by the removable insoles rubbing against the shoe's interior. Try removing the insoles, cleaning both the insole and the shoe's footbed, and then reinserting them firmly. A light dusting of talcum powder under the insole can also help reduce friction.
The side zip is difficult to open or close.
Ensure no fabric or debris is caught in the zipper teeth. If the zip is stiff, rub a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a specialized zipper lubricant along the teeth to help it glide more smoothly.

Compatibility
These trainers are designed for `adult` `Female` users and are best suited for `casual everyday wear`.

Product Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your Josef Seibel Claire 03 Trainers:
- Leather Uppers: Clean the leather regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Protection: Consider applying a waterproof spray suitable for leather to protect against moisture and stains, especially before wearing in damp conditions.
- Lining: The `leather and textile` lining can be gently wiped with a slightly damp cloth if needed. Allow to air dry completely.
- Sole: Wipe the `rubber` sole with a damp cloth to remove mud or debris. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used.
- Drying: If your trainers get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the leather.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. You may use shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
