FAQs
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is made from 100% cowhide leather, which is polyurethane-coated.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
These trainers are designed for everyday versatility and comfort, not for high-impact athletic activities like running. They feature a cushioned midsole for general wear.
How should I clean the white leather?
Clean the leather with a slightly damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Can I replace the insole with my own orthotics?
Yes, the insole is removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics for a personalized fit and support.
What does 'runs large' mean for sizing?
It means the shoe's actual fit is larger than its labeled size. It is generally recommended to order one size smaller than your usual shoe size.
What is the outsole made of?
The outsole is made of 100% ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA), a type of rubber known for its cushioning and durability properties.
What is the significance of the Hexagon logo?
The metal PP Hexagon logo is an iconic branding element of Philipp Plein, signifying the brand's distinctive style.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too large
As these trainers run large, consider ordering one size down. If you have already purchased, you can use thicker socks or insert an additional insole for a snugger fit.
Leather upper shows minor scuffs
Use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner. For minor scuffs on polyurethane-coated leather, a gentle buffing with a soft cloth might help. For deeper marks, consult a professional leather repair service.
Discomfort around the ankle area
Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly. The padded hems are designed for comfort, but if irritation persists, try adjusting the lacing pattern or breaking in the shoes with short periods of wear.
Laces become dirty
Remove the laces and hand wash them with mild soap and water. Allow them to air dry completely before re-lacing.
