Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup
- Lacing: Ensure the tonal rope laces are securely but comfortably tied. Adjust the tightness to provide adequate foot support without restricting circulation.
- First Wear: As with any new footwear, wear the trainers for short periods initially to break them in and get accustomed to the platform height and feel.
Compatibility
These trainers are designed for maximum stylistic impact and are highly compatible with a range of contemporary and retro-inspired fashion:
- Apparel: Pair with denim (skinny, straight, or wide-leg), cargo trousers, pleated skirts, mini-dresses, and oversized streetwear.
- Occasions: Best suited for casual events, parties, concerts, urban environments, and fashion-forward gatherings.
Care Instructions
Proper care will maintain the premium leather and overall appearance of your Buffalo London trainers:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the leather surfaces with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner according to its instructions. Avoid abrasive materials.
- Lace Care: If laces become soiled, they can be removed and hand-washed gently with mild soap and water, then air-dried.
- Drying: Always allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight, radiators, or artificial heat sources, which can damage the leather.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a high-quality leather conditioner to keep the leather soft, supple, and prevent cracking.
- Storage: When not in use, store your trainers in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag, away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
