FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running or gym use?
No, the PAUL 2.0 is designed as a lifestyle trainer for casual or smart-casual wear, not for high-impact sports.
Do these trainers run true to size?
Yes, Vagabond Shoemakers generally follow standard sizing conventions. If you are between sizes, consider your usual preference for leather footwear.
How do I clean the white markings if they get dirty?
For general cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing to prevent damaging the leather surface.
Can I replace the insoles?
The insoles are designed for the shoe, but if you need specific orthotics, they can typically be swapped if the original ones are removable.
Is the leather waterproof?
The leather is durable, but not inherently waterproof. Applying a water-repellent spray designed for leather can provide extra protection against light rain.
Will the black dye transfer to my socks?
High-quality leather construction typically prevents dye transfer; however, it is recommended to wear dark socks during the first few wears to be safe.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff upon initial wear
Wear them for short periods indoors to allow the material to naturally soften and stretch to your foot shape.
Surface scuffs appearing on leather
Use a matching black leather cream or wax polish to buff out minor scuffs and restore the uniform color.
Outsole accumulating debris
Gently clean the tread with a soft-bristled brush or a damp cloth to maintain optimal grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the PAUL 2.0 trainers are made of genuine leather, proper care is essential to extend their lifespan. Avoid submerging them in water or using harsh chemical cleaners. Instead, use a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt and apply a high-quality leather cream or polish occasionally to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. When not in use, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, ideally using shoe trees to maintain their shape. They are compatible with various sock weights, though thin-to-medium cotton socks are recommended for the best fit.
