Their key benefit is the effortless wearability provided by a lacing and zipper combination, along with a padded, removable insole for exceptional comfort.

FAQs
How do I determine the correct size?
Please refer to the UK sizing provided. It is recommended to try the shoes on before wearing them outdoors, as sizing can vary between different regions (US/Euro) and styles. Check the internal sizing on the box or label against the UK size.
Can I wear these trainers without socks?
Yes, the padded and removable insole is designed for comfort against the foot, making them suitable for wear with or without socks.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The product description does not specify waterproof features. While the leather can be treated for water resistance, they are not designed as waterproof footwear.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Gently wipe the leather with a slightly damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt, use a cleaner specifically designed for smooth leather, following the product's instructions.
What does 'stitchdown construction' mean for the shoe?
Stitchdown construction involves sewing the upper directly to the sole through an intermediary strip. This method typically results in a very robust shoe with a flexible sole.
What is the benefit of the 'H' width fitting?
An 'H' width fitting indicates that the shoe is designed with extra room, offering more space for the foot compared to a standard width shoe.
Can the insole be replaced with my own orthotics?
Yes, the insole is removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics or a preferred alternative insole.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or uncomfortable
Loosen the laces and utilize the side zipper for adjustment. If discomfort persists, consider removing the insole for more space or trying a different size. The 'H' width is designed for more room.
Difficulty inserting foot
Ensure the laces are sufficiently loosened and the zipper is fully open. Pull the tongue forward to create maximum opening.
Squeaking noise from shoes
This can sometimes occur with new leather shoes. It may resolve with wear. Ensure the insole is seated correctly, as movement between the insole and sole can cause noise.
Reduced grip on slippery surfaces
Clean the thermoplastic elastomer sole to remove any dirt or debris that might be hindering traction. Ensure the sole material is not excessively worn.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you try them on to confirm the fit before committing to wear them outdoors. If the insole is not to your preference, it can be easily removed and replaced.
Compatibility: Designed for adult women with a standard to wide foot width (H fitting). The removable insole allows for compatibility with custom orthotics or insoles, provided they are of a similar thickness.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the smooth leather upper with a clean, damp cloth. For tougher marks, a specialized leather cleaner can be used sparingly. Avoid saturating the leather.
- Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray suitable for smooth leather to guard against water and stains. Reapply periodically.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Stuffing with paper can help maintain their shape when not in use.
- Soles: Wipe the thermoplastic elastomer sole with a damp cloth. Ensure the treads are free from excessive dirt to maintain grip.
