While they provide a premium look and feel suitable for smart-casual settings, the soft nubuck material requires diligent care to maintain its matte finish and protect it from harsh environmental elements.

FAQs

How do these trainers fit compared to standard footwear?

The Lopes series is built on a broader-toed last, providing a slightly more spacious fit in the forefoot compared to standard, narrow-profile cupsole trainers.

Can I use standard leather polish on these shoes?

No. Standard leather polish is intended for smooth leathers and will permanently alter the appearance and texture of the matte calf nubuck.

Are these shoes waterproof?

While the construction is durable, nubuck is a porous material. They are not waterproof and should be treated with a protective spray, but still kept away from heavy rain.

What is the purpose of the side-stitched sole?

The side-stitching provides extra mechanical security between the sole and the upper, ensuring the shoe remains structurally sound over years of walking.

Are the insoles removable?

The Lopes trainers feature a high-quality, integrated cushioned leather insole designed to work in tandem with the shoe's internal geometry.

How often should I brush the nubuck?

A light brushing after each use will prevent dust from settling into the grain, extending the life and look of the leather significantly.

Troubleshooting

Surface marks or scuffs on the nubuck

Use a soft-bristled nubuck brush to gently buff the affected area in one direction to restore the matte finish.

White rubber sole showing dirt

Use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soapy water, or a specialized rubber cleaner to scrub the cupsole edges.

Leather feels stiff after storage

Gently massage the leather and use a high-quality leather conditioner formulated for natural grain leathers on the non-nubuck parts, then insert shoe trees.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality, breathable full-grain calf nubuck construction
  • Fully lined with calf leather for superior comfort
  • Robust side-stitched cupsole design for durability
  • Sophisticated, broader-toed profile suitable for smart-casual attire
  • Cushioned insoles provide relief for daily wear

Cons

  • Nubuck material is susceptible to staining and water damage
  • Requires professional-grade suede and nubuck cleaning products
  • Lacks the water resistance of smooth finished leathers

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Lopes trainers last, regular maintenance is essential. Because the body is constructed from delicate calf nubuck, avoid exposure to excessive moisture or heavy rain.

  1. Routine Cleaning: Use a dedicated nubuck brush to gently remove surface dust and restore the nap of the material.
  2. Protection: Apply a high-quality, alcohol-free nubuck protector spray before first wear to create a barrier against dirt and water.
  3. Stain Removal: Use a specialized nubuck eraser for localized marks, applying light pressure in circular motions.
  4. Storage: Always store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from drying out or fading. Use cedar shoe trees to help the leather retain its shape and absorb internal moisture after use.
