FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, the Pilota series is designed for lifestyle and fashion-casual use, not for athletic or high-impact performance sports.

Can I put these trainers in a washing machine?

Absolutely not. Washing machines will ruin the suede material and compromise the shoe's structure.

How do I know if the size 8.5 UK is right for me?

The Pilota trainers follow standard UK sizing. If you typically wear a 8.5 in other luxury leather or suede sneakers, they should provide a consistent fit.

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, suede is naturally absorbent. While a protective spray helps, they are not intended for use in heavy rain or puddles.

What should I do if I get oil on the suede?

Apply a small amount of cornstarch or baby powder to the oil stain, let it sit for a few hours to absorb the oil, then gently brush it off.

Troubleshooting

Water spots on the suede

Allow the shoe to air dry naturally away from heat sources. Once dry, use a suede brush to gently restore the nap.

Surface dirt or dust accumulation

Use a dry suede brush and brush in a single direction to remove loose particles.

Loose fit

Adjust the lace tension starting from the bottom eyelets moving upwards to ensure a tighter, more secure lock across the midfoot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Pilota Trainers maintain their appearance, follow these guidelines:

  1. Suede Protection: Apply a high-quality suede protector spray before wearing them for the first time to create a barrier against water and dirt.
  2. Routine Maintenance: Use a soft-bristled brush regularly to remove surface dust and restore the suede nap.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the blue color over time.
  4. Cleaning: For spot cleaning, use a dedicated suede eraser. Avoid using water or standard soap, as these can leave permanent water spots or discoloration.
  5. Compatibility: These trainers feature a standard UK sizing scale, providing a versatile fit that pairs well with denim, chinos, or casual trousers.
