FAQs
How often should I clean my Hayle Trainers?
For white leather, it's recommended to wipe them down after each wear to prevent dirt buildup. A more thorough cleaning with leather cleaner should be done as needed, typically every few weeks depending on usage.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The Hayle Trainers are not inherently waterproof. While the leather offers some natural resistance to light moisture, it is advisable to use a dedicated leather protector spray to enhance water resistance, especially if you anticipate wearing them in damp conditions.
What is the best way to store my trainers?
Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or heat. Using shoe trees (preferably cedar) will help maintain their shape, absorb moisture, and prevent creases.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended for leather trainers as it can damage the leather, stitching, and adhesives. Always clean them by hand according to the care instructions provided.
My shoe lining color is different from the product image. Is this normal?
Yes, Oliver Sweeney states that lining colors may vary. This is a normal aspect of the product and does not indicate a defect or inconsistency in quality.
Do I need to break in the leather?
Like most high-quality leather footwear, a short break-in period may be beneficial. The calf leather is soft but will adapt and mold to your foot shape over the first few wears, enhancing comfort.
Troubleshooting
White leather appears dull or dirty
Gently clean the surface with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a small amount of specialized white leather cleaner and rub in a circular motion, then wipe clean with a separate damp cloth.
Leather feels dry or stiff
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner evenly across the leather upper using a clean, soft cloth. Allow it to absorb for a few minutes, then buff lightly to restore suppleness.
Unpleasant odor from inside the trainers
Remove the insoles if possible and air them out. Use a shoe deodorizer spray or place cedar shoe trees inside the trainers to absorb moisture and neutralize odors.
Sole appears to be separating
While rare, if the sole begins to separate, it is recommended to contact Oliver Sweeney customer service or consult a professional shoe repair specialist for assessment and potential repair. Avoid attempting DIY repairs that could further damage the shoe.
Laces get dirty quickly
Remove the laces and hand wash them with mild soap and water. Allow them to air dry completely before re-threading them into the trainers. Consider having a spare pair of laces for rotation.

To ensure the longevity and pristine appearance of your leather trainers, proper care is essential. Regularly clean the leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning or scuffs, use a specialized leather cleaner suitable for white calf leather. Apply a high-quality leather conditioner every few weeks or months, depending on wear, to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. Consider using a leather protector spray before initial wear to guard against water and stains. Always allow them to air dry away from direct heat. Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning tools, as these can damage the leather finish.
