FAQs

Are Fred Perry Baseline trainers true to size?

Generally, Fred Perry Baseline trainers are considered to fit true to size. However, individual fit can vary. It is recommended to consult sizing charts or try them on if possible.

How should I clean the leather upper?

Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For tougher stains, a dedicated leather cleaner can be applied sparingly with a clean cloth. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.

Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?

While the leather can withstand light moisture, these trainers are not designed for heavy rain. Prolonged exposure to wet conditions may damage the leather and affect the shoe's structure. It's advisable to treat them with a waterproofing spray suitable for leather.

What is the sole made of?

The sole of these trainers is made of rubber, providing durability and grip.

Do these trainers come in other colors?

Yes, the Fred Perry Baseline series is available in a range of colors, including blue, beige, and white, depending on availability.

What does the Laurel Wreath symbolize?

The Laurel Wreath is the iconic symbol of Fred Perry, representing the brand's heritage in tennis and its association with classic British sportswear style.

Are these trainers suitable for athletic performance?

These trainers are designed for casual wear and everyday comfort, not for high-impact athletic activities. They do not provide the specialized support or cushioning required for sports.

Troubleshooting

Leather creasing excessively

Ensure the shoes fit correctly. Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape. Avoid over-tightening laces.

Soles becoming dirty or scuffed

Clean the soles with a damp cloth and mild soap. For scuffs, a magic eraser or specialized sole cleaner can be used carefully.

Water marks on leather

Wipe the area immediately with a clean, damp cloth and allow to dry naturally. Apply leather conditioner afterward to restore moisture.

Discoloration of the inner lining

This can happen with moisture. Wear socks to minimize direct contact and allow shoes to air out between wears.
