FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, these sneakers are designed for casual wear and do not offer the specialized support or cushioning required for running.

How should I clean the leather upper?

Wipe the leather with a damp cloth and use a specialized leather cleaner for stains. Avoid soaking the shoes in water.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the leather offers some protection, it's best to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve the material's quality. Ensure they are dried properly if they do get wet.

What type of socks are best to wear with these sneakers?

Ankle socks or no-show socks are typically best for a clean, casual look. Standard crew socks also work well for comfort.

Do these sneakers come in other colors?

This specific model guide is for the Black colorway in UK 11.5. Other colorways and sizes may be available under different product listings.

What does 'Decon' mean in the product name?

'Decon' typically refers to a deconstructed version of a classic silhouette, often featuring a sleeker, minimalist design.

Troubleshooting

Leather scuffs or marks

Use a dedicated leather cleaner and a soft cloth to gently remove the mark. For deeper scuffs, a leather repair balm might be necessary.

Laces becoming worn

Replace laces with standard shoelaces. Ensure they are the correct length for the eyelets.

Reduced grip on outsole

Clean the outsole tread with a brush and water to remove embedded dirt or debris that may be reducing traction.

Discomfort after prolonged wear

Ensure the laces are adjusted for a comfortable fit. Consider using insoles if additional cushioning or support is needed.
