FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
The fit can vary. The removable insole offers some adjustability, but for significantly wide feet, it's recommended to try them on or consult sizing charts carefully.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather and construction.
How often should I condition the leather?
It's advisable to condition the leather every 3-6 months, or more frequently if exposed to harsh conditions or dry climates.
What are the benefits of the recycled materials?
The use of recycled materials contributes to reducing environmental impact by repurposing waste materials into new products.

Troubleshooting

Apply a quality leather conditioner to restore moisture and flexibility. Ensure regular conditioning.
Water stains on the leather
Wipe gently with a damp cloth and allow to air dry naturally. Avoid heat. Use a waterproofing spray for future prevention.
Discomfort due to fit
Ensure the correct size was selected. Utilize the removable insole to accommodate custom orthotics or adjust fit with an additional insole.
