FAQs
Are these shoes water-resistant?
No, the suede upper is naturally porous and will absorb water; it is highly recommended to use a suede-specific water repellent spray.
Can I wash these in a machine?
No, machine washing will permanently damage the suede and the leather interior. Always clean by hand with specialized tools.
How should I store them when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place using shoe trees to maintain the shape of the toe box.
Do these trainers require breaking in?
Like most high-quality leather and suede footwear, they may feel stiff initially but will soften and conform to your foot after a few wears.
What is the best way to remove scuffs?
Use a dedicated suede eraser to gently rub the scuff in one direction until it lifts.
Troubleshooting
Visible water or dirt spots on suede
Allow to air dry naturally away from heat, then use a dry suede eraser or soft-bristle brush to gently buff the affected area.
Laces becoming loose during wear
Ensure the laces are pulled evenly and consider a double knot if the texture of the laces slides easily.
Footbed feels damp
Remove the shoes and allow them to vent in a ventilated area for 24 hours to let the leather lining dry completely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Pilota trainers maintain their quality, keep them away from water and direct mud exposure, as the suede is susceptible to permanent spotting. If they become dirty, use a specialized suede brush to gently lift debris or dried mud. It is recommended to use a protective suede spray to repel moisture and light stains before the first wear. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading. Compatibility-wise, these trainers are true to standard UK sizing, and the lace-up system allows you to adjust the tension to match your foot width.
