FAQs
How should I clean my Paul Smith Lee Trainers?
For general cleaning, wipe the leather surface with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a leather-specific cleaner. Always allow them to air dry away from direct heat, and consider using a leather conditioner to keep the material supple.
Are these trainers suitable for all-day wear?
Yes, the Paul Smith Lee Trainers feature a cushioned insole, padded collar, and durable rubber sole, all designed to provide enhanced comfort and support for extended wear throughout the day.
What material are the Lee Trainers made from?
The Paul Smith Lee Trainers are crafted from 100% premium smooth leather, ensuring both durability and a luxurious feel.
Do Paul Smith Lee Trainers run true to size?
Paul Smith trainers generally fit true to size. For the most accurate fit, it is recommended to refer to a size chart or try them on if possible.
How can I prevent the white leather from yellowing over time?
Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using a protective spray specifically designed for white leather can also help guard against discoloration.
Can I wear these trainers in rainy weather?
While the leather is durable, it's best to avoid heavy rain to protect the material and prolong its life. If they do get wet, follow the drying instructions in the care section carefully.
What is the 'Sports Stripe' detail on the heel?
The 'Sports Stripe' refers to the multicoloured grosgrain detail located on the heel pulls. This is a signature design element of Paul Smith, adding a distinctive and playful touch to the trainers' understated design.
Troubleshooting
Scuffs or marks on white leather appear quickly
Regularly wipe the trainers with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper scuffs, use a specialized white leather cleaner or a magic eraser very gently. Prompt treatment is key.
Trainers feel stiff or uncomfortable during initial wears
This is normal for new leather footwear. Wear them for short periods at first, allowing the leather to soften and mold to your foot shape. Thicker socks can also aid the break-in process.
Laces appear dirty or worn out
Laces can be hand-washed with mild soap and water, then air-dried. If they are severely worn or damaged, consider replacing them with new laces of similar length and style to maintain the aesthetic.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup
- Lacing: Upon receiving your Paul Smith Lee Trainers, ensure the laces are threaded through all eyelets and tied to your preferred snugness. Adjust the laces to achieve a comfortable, secure fit that supports your foot without being too tight.
- Initial Wear: As with any new leather footwear, it's recommended to wear them for shorter periods initially to allow the leather to soften and mold to the unique shape of your foot. This 'break-in' period helps maximize long-term comfort.
Compatibility
These trainers are highly versatile and compatible with a broad spectrum of outfits. Their clean, white leather design makes them a staple for:
- Casual Wear: Pair with denim, chinos, or shorts for a relaxed yet polished look.
- Smart-Casual Attire: Easily complement tailored trousers, blazers, or casual suits for a contemporary, sophisticated ensemble.
- Seasonal Versatility: Suitable for year-round wear, though advisable to avoid heavy rain or snow to preserve the leather.
Care & Maintenance
Proper care is crucial to maintain the premium look and longevity of your leather trainers.
- Regular Cleaning: After each wear, gently wipe down the leather uppers with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt and dust. For more stubborn marks, use a cleaner specifically designed for white leather.
- Deep Cleaning: Periodically, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner. Apply the cleaner with a soft cloth, following the product instructions, then apply a small amount of leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking.
- Protection: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray designed for leather to provide an extra layer of protection against elements and accidental spills.
- Drying: If your trainers get wet, stuff them with newspaper or shoe trees to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can dry out and damage the leather.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original dust bag or a shoe box, to protect them from dust and light. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
- Sole Care: Clean the rubber soles with a brush and mild soap solution to remove dirt and maintain traction. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the rubber.
