FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These trainers are designed for casual wear and light training. They are not recommended for long-distance running or high-impact athletic sports.
Do the Retropy E5 trainers run true to size?
Most users find that these trainers fit true to their standard UK sizing, though the leather upper may feel snug initially before it breaks in.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather material and the structural integrity of the shoe. Always hand clean with appropriate products.
What is the best way to store these shoes?
Store them in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent color fading and leather drying.
Is the leather upper waterproof?
The leather is not inherently waterproof. Applying a protective leather spray is recommended to provide a layer of water resistance.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight during the first few wears
Leather naturally expands and molds to the foot; wear them for shorter periods during the first week to allow for a gradual break-in process.
Light cream leather is showing scuffs or dirt
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a gentle, neutral leather soap applied with a soft brush, then wipe clean with a cloth.
Laces coming untied too easily
Double knot the laces or replace them with higher-friction cotton laces if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Out of the box, the Retropy E5 trainers are ready for immediate wear. To ensure the leather remains in top condition, we recommend applying a water and stain repellent spray suitable for leather before your first use. For routine maintenance, wipe away surface dirt with a soft, slightly damp cloth after wear. Avoid machine washing, as the heat and agitation can damage the leather finish and adhesive bonds. If the shoes become damp from rain, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the leather to crack or shrink.
