FAQs
What material are the Balmain Swan Trainers made of?
They are crafted from a combination of grey suede, calfskin leather, and feature a leather lining and insole.
What colour are the included laces?
The trainers come with two pairs of laces: one white pair and one grey-black pair.
How should I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
Use a dedicated suede brush for general cleaning and to restore the nap. A suede eraser can be used for minor stains. Always allow suede to air dry.
Can these trainers be worn for sports?
These trainers are designed for fashion and casual wear, not for athletic performance. For sports, specialized athletic footwear is recommended.
What is the sole height?
The sole height at its highest point is 2.5 cm.
Are these trainers suitable for all seasons?
While versatile, the suede material may require extra care in wet conditions. They are best suited for dry to mildly damp weather.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the size guide and your usual UK shoe size. The listed size (e.g., UK 7.5) corresponds to the specific product measurement.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth, then allow to air dry.
Leather panels scuffed
For minor scuffs, a leather conditioner or polish in a matching colour may help. For deeper scuffs, professional restoration might be necessary.
Laces become worn or dirty
Replace with the included spare laces or purchase new laces of similar quality and length. Hand wash laces separately if needed.
Shoes lose shape when stored
Use shoe trees made of cedar wood to absorb moisture and help maintain the shoe's original shape when not in use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: These trainers come ready to wear. Simply choose your preferred lace colour (white or grey-black) and lace them up as desired.
Compatibility: Designed for adult males, these trainers are best suited for casual and smart-casual wardrobes. They pair well with denim, cotton trousers, shorts, and other leisurewear.
Care:
- Suede: Use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a suede eraser or a damp cloth can be used cautiously. Always allow suede to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Leather: Clean leather panels with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid excessive water. Conditioning the leather periodically can help maintain its suppleness.
- Sole: Wipe the rubber sole clean with a damp cloth.
- Protection: Consider using a suede protector spray to guard against water and stains.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in the original box or a dust bag to prevent damage and maintain shape.
