FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Rivalry Low 86 generally fits true to size for most users.
Are these suitable for playing sports?
While they feature basketball heritage, they are designed for lifestyle wear and do not offer the support required for competitive athletic sports.
How do I keep the white leather clean?
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning solution or a mild soap and water mix with a soft-bristled brush.
Can I replace the insoles?
Most models feature removable insoles, allowing you to swap them for personal orthotics if necessary.
Is the material real leather?
The Rivalry series is known for its durable leather construction, which provides that classic, structured feel.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the toe box area
Leather creasing is normal with wear. Use cedar shoe trees when not in use to help the shoe maintain its shape.
Difficulty putting on
Loosen the laces down to the second eyelet to provide more volume for your foot to slide in comfortably.

- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a damp cloth after each use to remove dust. For tougher stains, use a mild leather cleaner.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather cracking or yellowing of the soles.

- Weather Protection: Apply a leather-safe water-repellent spray if you plan to wear them in damp conditions to protect the material.
