FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, these are fashion trainers intended for casual wear and walking, not for athletic running or sports.
How do I keep the patent finish shiny?
Wipe regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth and use a product specifically designed for patent leather or synthetic patent materials.
Can I replace the ribbon laces with normal laces?
Yes, standard laces can be used if you prefer a more traditional look, though the wide eyelets may make standard laces look thin.
Do these trainers run true to size?
Most users find that they fit true to standard UK sizes, but the fit can be adjusted slightly using the ribbon lacing system.
Is the material waterproof?
The patent finish provides some resistance to light splashes, but they are not fully waterproof and should be dried naturally if they get wet.
Are these shoes heavy?
They feature a standard weight for a leather-style fashion trainer, providing a sturdy and grounded feel.
Troubleshooting
Ribbon laces come untied easily
Ensure a double knot is tied to secure the wide material, or use a fabric-safe stiffener if the ribbons lose their form.
Surface scuffs appearing on the patent finish
Use a specialized patent leather cleaner or a tiny amount of petroleum jelly on a soft cloth to buff out light surface marks.
Stiff feel during first wear
Wear the shoes for short periods indoors with thick socks to help the material gradually soften and mold to your foot shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers stay in peak condition, proper care is essential. Since the upper is made of a glossy patent material, avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners or brushes that could scratch the surface. Instead, wipe the exterior down with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt. For the ribbon laces, they can be removed and hand-washed with mild soap if they lose their shape or become soiled. Ensure the shoes are kept away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which could cause the material to warp or crack. Compatibility-wise, these sneakers run true to standard UK sizing, and the adjustable ribbon lacing allows for minor variations in foot width for a personalized fit.
