FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?

Can I use these for running?
No, these are fashion trainers inspired by vintage sports styles and do not contain the specialized support required for running.
How do I clean the white leather?
Use a damp cloth and mild soap to spot clean, then follow up with a leather protector to help repel future dirt.
Do these shoes provide good arch support?
They feature a comfort-cushioned insole suitable for daily casual wear, but they are not categorized as orthopedic footwear.
What is the primary material?
The upper is constructed from high-quality leather, which provides durability and a classic aesthetic.
Are the laces replaceable?
Yes, you can replace the provided laces with any standard lace style that matches the length of the original set.
Troubleshooting
Visible scuff marks on the white leather
Gently clean the affected area with a soft cloth and a mild leather cleaner or a dedicated sneaker eraser.
Laces becoming undone frequently
Ensure a double knot is tied or replace with slightly longer cotton laces if the current pair does not hold tension.
Creasing at the toe box
This is a natural characteristic of leather footwear; use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the original shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers are designed for a standard fit. For optimal care, wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth after each use to prevent dirt buildup in the textured areas. To maintain the crisp white appearance, use a specialized leather cleaner periodically. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this can degrade the leather and the integrity of the adhesives. If the shoes become damp, allow them to air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent cracking.
