Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Lacing: Simply thread the recycled polyester laces through the eyelets. Adjust the lacing to achieve a snug yet comfortable fit that accommodates your foot's width and arch.
- First Wear: Wear the trainers for short periods initially to allow the full-grain leather to break in and mold to your feet.
Compatibility
These Fred Perry Spencer Trainers are designed for adult males and come in UK size 10 (this specific variant). When purchasing, always consult a brand-specific sizing chart if you are unsure about international size conversions to ensure the best fit.
Care
Proper care is crucial to maintain the premium look and longevity of your leather trainers:
- Cleaning Leather: Gently wipe the full-grain leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove any surface dirt or dust. For more thorough cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft cloth, following the product's instructions. Finish with a leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking.
- Cleaning Soles: Utilize a soft brush or a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap to clean the vulcanised rubber soles. This helps remove grime and maintain traction.
- Drying: Always allow your trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as these can dry out and damage the leather.
- Protection: Periodically apply a quality leather protector spray. This can help repel water and stains, offering an additional layer of defense against the elements.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place, ideally using shoe trees. Shoe trees help absorb moisture and maintain the original shape of the trainers, preventing creases and extending their life.
