FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

No, the Mephisto Rainbow series runs large. It is recommended to purchase one size smaller than your usual UK size.

What is the primary benefit of the soft-air technology?

It provides exceptional shock absorption, significantly reducing the impact of walking on your joints and spine.

Can I replace the inner soles?

While the shoes feature built-in comfort, you can replace the insoles if you require custom orthotics, provided they fit the internal volume of the shoe.

How should I clean the leather?

Use a soft brush for dust and a dedicated leather conditioner to maintain the moisture and color of the hide.

Are these suitable for wet weather?

While the leather is durable, they are not waterproof. Use a leather-safe water repellent spray if you intend to wear them in light rain.

How long has Mephisto been making these shoes?

Mephisto has maintained its high-quality handmade footwear manufacturing tradition since 1965.

Troubleshooting

The shoe feels too loose even with socks.

If the shoe is a full size too large, consider using a thicker insole or double-check if you purchased your standard size instead of sizing down as recommended.

Leather feels stiff upon initial wear.

This is normal for high-quality leather. Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow the material to naturally conform to your foot shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Mephisto Rainbow trainers, proper maintenance is essential. Because they are constructed from genuine leather, you should avoid submerging them in water or using harsh chemical cleaners.

  1. Sizing: Always remember these run large; order one size smaller than your usual UK measurement.
  2. Cleaning: Use a soft, dry brush to remove loose dirt or debris from the leather surface.
  3. Conditioning: Apply a high-quality leather cream periodically to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
  4. Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, which can dry out and damage the leather and rubber soles.
