FAQs
Are these shoes water-resistant?
While the leather construction offers some natural resistance to light moisture, they are not fully waterproof and should be avoided in heavy rain.
How should I clean the rubber outsole?
Use a stiff brush and mild soapy water to scrub the rubber outsole, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the internal EVA sock liner can typically be removed to accommodate custom orthotics if required.
Are these trainers true to size?
The Court Palisades follow standard adult sizing; however, since they are leather, they may offer a snug fit initially and will break in slightly over time.
Are these suitable for playing tennis?
While they are inspired by vintage tennis shoes, they lack the specific lateral support and stability features required for competitive court play.
How often should I condition the leather?
Depending on usage and weather conditions, conditioning the leather once every few months will help preserve its quality.
Troubleshooting
The shoe feels too tight at the top of the foot
Adjust the lace tension starting from the bottom eyelets upward to create more volume in the tongue area.
Heel slippage while walking
Try the 'runner's loop' or 'heel lock' lacing technique using the highest eyelet to increase the security of the heel counter.
Scuff marks on the leather surface
Gently rub the area with a soft eraser or a leather-specific cleaning cloth; avoid using harsh chemical solvents.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience with your Court Palisades, start by loosening the laces fully before sliding your foot in for the first time, then adjust them for a secure tension that holds your heel in place without constricting circulation. These trainers feature a standard fit and are best paired with mid-weight cotton or moisture-wicking synthetic socks. To care for the leather, keep them away from excessive heat and direct sunlight, which can dry out the material. Use a clean, damp cloth to remove surface dirt immediately after use, and treat the leather periodically with a suitable leather conditioner to maintain suppleness and prevent cracking.
