FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The Train 89 series generally follows standard UK sizing, but since leather is a natural material, it may stretch slightly over time.
Can I use these for running?
While they are inspired by 70s running silhouettes, they are intended for lifestyle and fashion use rather than high-performance athletic training.
How do I clean the black leather?
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth and apply a black or neutral leather conditioner periodically to maintain the color and texture.
What is the heel height?
These trainers feature a flat heel profile, providing a neutral and stable platform for daily walking.
Are they suitable for rainy weather?
While leather provides some resistance, they are not waterproof; it is recommended to use a water-repellent spray for leather to protect against moisture.
What is the purpose of the TPU heel insert?
The TPU heel insert is included to provide extra structure, support, and stability to the heel area of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels too stiff during first wear
Wear the shoes for short periods indoors with thicker socks to naturally soften the leather.
Accumulated dirt in the rugged sole
Use a medium-bristled brush to remove dried debris from the grooves of the outsole.
Creasing on the toe box
Use cedar shoe trees when not wearing to help the leather maintain its shape and absorb excess moisture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your trainers, start by using a shoe horn during the initial wear-in phase to protect the heel structure. They pair exceptionally well with denim or chinos. For care, use a high-quality leather cream to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. Always wipe away mud or surface dirt immediately with a damp, soft cloth rather than submerging them in water. Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from drying out.
