FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The HOLLIE trainers generally follow standard adult sizing, though it is recommended to consult a size guide if you are between sizes.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, leather trainers should never be machine washed as this will damage the material and construction.
How do I protect the black leather?
Use a leather-safe water repellent spray and avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes.
Are these suitable for wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, they are not fully waterproof and should be treated with a protectant spray for better water resistance.
What is the primary material used?
The HOLLIE trainers are crafted from high-quality leather.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff upon first wear
This is normal for new leather shoes. Wear them around the house with thick socks to help stretch and soften the material.
Scuff marks appearing on the leather
Use a leather cream or polish matched to the black colour to buff out minor surface scuffs and restore the finish.
Creasing at the toe box
Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather footwear. Using shoe trees when not wearing the trainers can help maintain the shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your HOLLIE trainers remain in top condition, follow these recommendations:
- Break-in: Wear them for short durations indoors initially to allow the leather to soften to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt and dust.
- Conditioning: Use a high-quality leather conditioner periodically to prevent the leather from cracking.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to preserve the material integrity.
- Protection: Apply a water and stain repellent spray specifically formulated for leather to protect against moisture and spills.
