FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
The fit of trainers can vary. While the leather upper offers some flexibility, we recommend checking the specific width fitting if available or trying them on to ensure comfort, especially if you have wider feet.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the leather can be treated for water resistance, these trainers are best suited for dry to moderately damp conditions. For heavy rain, it's advisable to opt for footwear specifically designed for wet weather.
How do I clean the brown leather?
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized brown leather cleaner and follow up with a conditioner to maintain the leather's quality.
What does 'Handmade in Portugal' signify?
It signifies a high standard of craftsmanship, attention to detail, and traditional shoemaking techniques that are often associated with Portuguese manufacturing.
Can the insole be replaced?
Yes, these trainers feature a removable insole, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics or preferred insoles.
What is the benefit of using recycled materials?
Using recycled materials reduces waste and lowers the environmental impact associated with manufacturing, contributing to more sustainable fashion choices.
How should I store these trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees or stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff initially
This is normal for new leather. Wear them for short periods to break them in. Applying a leather conditioner can also help soften the material.
Discoloration on leather
If light discoloration occurs due to water, allow to dry naturally away from heat and then treat with appropriate leather conditioner. For stubborn marks, consult a professional leather care specialist.
Fit feels slightly off
Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly. If the issue persists, consider using the removable insole or trying a different size if possible.
Squeaking noise
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole or on the tongue area where friction might be occurring.
