FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
These trainers are made with a standard fit. While the lace-up design allows for some adjustment, individuals with significantly wide feet may find them snug. It is recommended to try them on if possible or consult size guides carefully.
How do I clean the brown leather?
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner, applying it sparingly with a soft cloth. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Can I wear these trainers in the rain?
While the leather is durable, it is not waterproof. It is recommended to use a leather waterproofing spray for protection against light moisture. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain to prevent damage and discoloration.
What does 'Handmade in Portugal' signify?
This indicates that the trainers have been manufactured in Portugal, a region known for its skilled footwear craftsmanship. It suggests a focus on quality construction and attention to detail.
Is the insole truly removable?
Yes, the insole is designed to be removable, allowing you to replace it with your own orthotics or a different type of insole for personalized comfort and support.
How often should I condition the leather?
The frequency depends on usage and climate. Generally, conditioning every 3-6 months is recommended, or whenever the leather appears dry or lacks suppleness.
What kind of outfits do these trainers best complement?
These trainers are versatile and complement a wide range of casual outfits, including jeans, chinos, shorts, casual skirts, and dresses.
Troubleshooting
Leather creasing excessively
Ensure the shoes fit correctly and avoid over-tightening laces. Use shoe trees when storing to help maintain shape. Conditioning the leather can also help.
Slight stiffness on first wear
Leather can feel stiff initially. Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to break them in gradually. Applying a leather conditioner can also soften the material.
Discoloration from moisture
Allow the shoes to dry naturally away from direct heat. Use a waterproofing spray and avoid wearing in heavy rain if possible. Address stains with a leather cleaner appropriate for the color.
