FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they are designed for a regular fit. However, if you prefer extra room, consider the break-in time required for the leather material.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the leather upper and degrade the EVA midsole cushioning. Always use manual cleaning methods.

Are these suitable for gym use?

They are ideal for light gym activities like weight training, but they do not provide the specialized lateral support or ventilation needed for high-intensity cardio.

How do I maintain the matte leather finish?

Keep the leather hydrated with a leather-safe cream and avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water exposure.

Is the sole non-slip?

The rubber outsole provides reliable traction on standard indoor and dry outdoor surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight during first wear

Leather will soften and expand; try wearing thin socks during the break-in period until the material conforms to your feet.

Visible scuffs on matte leather

Use a specialized leather conditioner or a soft, dry buffing cloth to gently buff out surface imperfections.

Slippage at the heel

Ensure the laces are tightened properly from the bottom eyelets upward to lock the foot in place.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For the best fit, ensure you select your standard UK size. Because of the leather construction, the shoes may feel slightly snug during the first few wears; they will naturally stretch and conform to your foot shape after a short break-in period. To maintain the matte, buffed surface, avoid excessive water saturation. Clean the leather with a soft, dry cloth to remove surface dust. If you encounter dirt, use a dedicated leather cleaning solution applied sparingly with a soft brush, and allow the shoes to air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from cracking.
