Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Simply unlace the trainers, insert your foot, and lace them up to your desired snugness. Ensure your laces are tied securely to prevent tripping and provide optimal support. As with all leather footwear, a short break-in period may be beneficial to allow the material to soften and mold to your foot's unique shape.
Compatibility
These trainers are highly versatile, pairing well with a wide range of casual and smart-casual outfits. Their classic `black leather` design makes them a staple for:
- Jeans and t-shirts
- Chinos and button-down shirts
- Skirts and casual blouses
- Casual dresses
Care
To maintain the premium `leather upper`, `spot clean` only. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can severely damage the leather and sole. Follow these steps for care:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt or scuffs from the leather. For more stubborn marks, a specialized leather cleaner can be applied sparingly, following the product's instructions. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can dry out and crack the leather.
- Maintenance: Consider using a leather conditioner periodically to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. Stuffing the trainers with paper or using shoe trees can help maintain their shape when not in use.
