FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for sports?

While inspired by sport, these trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. They offer comfort and durability for everyday activities but are not intended for intense athletic performance.

How do I clean the crocodile-embossed leather?

Use a soft, damp cloth for general cleaning. For stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner suitable for embossed textures. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing.

What is the material of the inner lining?

The inner lining is made of textile material, and the sockliner is made of leather for added comfort.

Do these trainers run true to size?

Generally, they fit true to size. However, it's always recommended to check sizing guides and customer reviews for specific fit feedback.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

They are best suited for dry conditions. While the leather offers some protection, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or snow is not recommended and may require professional treatment to maintain the material.

What is the significance of the red lining?

The vibrant red lining provides an elegant contrast to the black upper and is inspired by the aggressive styling of the 1994 Predator football boot, adding a unique visual detail.

What is the outsole made of?

The outsole is made of rubber, providing good traction and durability for everyday use.

Troubleshooting

Leather creasing excessively

This is natural with genuine leather. Ensure proper fit to minimize excessive creasing. Stuff shoes with paper when not in use to help maintain shape.

Scuff marks on the shell toe

Clean gently with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean.

Red lining bleeding onto socks

This can occasionally happen with new footwear. It is recommended to wear darker socks initially or to condition the interior lining with a colour-safe product.

Loss of shape

Use shoe trees or stuff the shoes with paper when not in use. Store them properly in a box or bag.
