FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the CODY series generally follows standard sizing, though the leather construction may feel snug initially before softening.
Can I wear these for running?
No, these are fashion trainers designed for casual use and are not engineered for running or high-impact athletic performance.
How do I protect them from rain?
It is recommended to use a leather-specific protective spray to create a barrier against moisture.
Is the leather genuine?
Yes, Vagabond Shoemakers uses high-quality leather for the upper construction of the CODY series.
Can the insoles be removed?
While the shoes are designed for comfort as-is, the interior is constructed for optimal support. Check specific manufacturing batches if you need to insert orthotics.
What is the best way to store them?
Store them in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight, ideally with shoe trees to maintain the structural integrity.
Troubleshooting
Leather looks dull or dry
Apply a leather conditioner or cream to restore the natural oils and finish.
Creasing at the toe box
Use a cedar shoe tree when not in use to help the shoe maintain its shape and reduce depth of creases.
Stains on the leather surface
Use a specialized leather cleaner applied to a soft cloth, testing on a small, inconspicuous area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your CODY trainers remain in top condition, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe down the leather regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and surface debris.
- Conditioning: Apply a high-quality leather cream or conditioner every few months to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
- Water Protection: Use a leather-safe waterproofing spray to protect the shoes from unexpected rain or spills.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, which can dry out and damage the leather.
- Fit: Ensure you select the correct UK size, as leather may take a short time to mold to the specific contours of your feet during the initial breaking-in period.
