Their key benefit lies in the classic, clean leather design with a low-profile rubber sole, offering a refined look for everyday wear. A potential caveat is that the leather upper may require specific care to maintain its appearance over time. The trainers feature a soft full-grain leather upper, a comfortable canvas in-sock, recycled laces, and the signature embroidered Laurel Wreath.

FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
No, the Fred Perry Baseline trainers are designed as casual footwear and are not intended for athletic performance. They offer comfort for everyday activities like walking but lack the specialized support and cushioning for sports.
How do I maintain the full-grain leather upper?
Regularly wipe the leather with a damp cloth to remove dust. Apply a leather conditioner every few months to keep it hydrated and prevent drying. Treat any stains with a suitable leather cleaner.
What is the purpose of the canvas in-sock?
The canvas in-sock is incorporated to enhance comfort by providing a softer internal surface against the foot, aiding in breathability and comfort during wear.
Can I wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash these leather trainers. Cleaning should be done manually using a damp cloth, leather cleaner, and conditioner as per the care instructions.
What does 'Baseline' refer to in the product name?
'Baseline' refers to the foundational, classic style of the trainer, representing a core silhouette in the Fred Perry footwear collection, inspired by tennis shoe designs.
Are the laces made from sustainable materials?
Yes, the laces in these trainers are made from recycled spun polyester, aligning with Fred Perry's efforts towards more sustainable materials.
How do I choose the right size?
It is recommended to check the Fred Perry sizing guide for accurate measurements. As these are leather trainers, they might offer a snug fit initially but should mold to your feet over time. Trying them on is ideal if possible.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dry or cracked
Apply a quality leather conditioner to restore moisture and suppleness. Ensure regular conditioning.
Scuffs or minor scratches on the leather
Use a leather cleaner and a soft cloth to gently buff out minor marks. For deeper scuffs, a color-matched shoe cream or polish may be necessary.
Soles are dirty and dull
Clean the rubber soles with a damp cloth and mild soap. A soft brush can help remove dirt from textured areas.
Laces are frayed or dirty
Replace the laces with new ones. If dirty, they can be hand-washed with mild detergent and air-dried.
Inner sole feels uncomfortable after extended wear
Ensure the correct size is being worn. Consider using thin, supportive insoles designed for casual shoes if additional cushioning is desired.
