FAQs
Are these trainers waterproof?
While the leather upper provides natural resistance to light rain, they are not classified as waterproof. Using a leather-safe water repellent will enhance their performance in damp conditions.
How do I determine the right size?
The Cody trainers follow standard UK sizing for adults. We recommend choosing your typical size; however, leather may stretch slightly after a few wears.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, you should never put leather shoes in a washing machine. The heat and water will damage the leather and the structure of the shoe.
Are these suitable for intense sports?
No, the Cody series is designed as a fashion trainer for daily casual wear, not for high-intensity athletic activities or sports.
How often should I clean the leather?
We recommend wiping them down after every few wears to prevent dirt buildup, and applying a deep conditioner every 3 to 6 months depending on usage.
Troubleshooting
Leather surface appearing dry or dull
Apply a high-quality leather cream or conditioner to restore moisture and shine.
Visible scuffs on the black finish
Use a black leather polish or cream to cover scuffs and buff to a matte or polished finish.
Trainers feel tight initially
Leather will naturally stretch and mold to your foot over time. Wear them for short durations indoors to break them in comfortably.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Cody trainers last as long as possible, follow these care steps:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe away surface dirt with a soft, damp cloth. Do not soak the leather.
- Conditioning: Apply a leather-specific conditioner every few months to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
- Protection: Use a water-repellent spray designed for leather to protect against moisture and light staining.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading. Use shoe trees to help maintain the shape of the leather.
These trainers are designed to fit true to size for an adult foot. If you plan to wear thick socks, you may want to consider this when selecting your UK size.
