FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for athletic performance?

While designed for agility and flexibility, they are primarily intended for urban daily wear and casual activities rather than intense athletic performance.

How should I clean the calfskin leather upper?

Gently wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals. A specialized leather conditioner can be used to maintain suppleness.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the Jitsu trainers come with removable insoles, allowing you to insert your own preferred insoles for customized comfort.

What is the heel height of these trainers?

The sole height at its highest point is approximately 1.5 cm.

Do they come in different colors?

This guide focuses on the Black and Cream variant. Other colorways may be available depending on the season and retailer.

Troubleshooting

Leather appears dry or stiff

Apply a small amount of leather conditioner specifically designed for calfskin to restore moisture and flexibility. Test on an inconspicuous area first.

Soles have dirt buildup

Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to clean the rubber sole. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.

Laces are dirty

Remove the laces and hand wash them with mild soap and water. Allow them to air dry completely before re-lacing the shoes.

Inner sole feels uncomfortable

The Jitsu trainers feature removable insoles. You can replace them with your preferred orthotic or cushioned insoles for added comfort.
