FAQs
How do I clean the washed calfskin leather?
Use a soft, damp cloth for general cleaning. For stains, use a specialized leather cleaner for washed or distressed leather, testing in an inconspicuous area first.
Are these trainers suitable for running or intense sports?
No, these trainers are designed for fashion and casual everyday wear. They do not provide the specialized support required for running or high-impact sports.
Can I replace the insole with my own orthotics?
Yes, the insole is padded and removable, making it compatible with most standard custom orthotics.
How should I store these trainers to maintain their condition?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees is recommended to help maintain their shape.
What does 'artisanal grooved sole with distressed finish' mean?
This refers to the unique, handcrafted appearance of the rubber sole, which features deliberate grooves and a deliberately 'worn' or aged look, contributing to the overall vintage aesthetic of the shoe.
Will the 'used-look' fade over time?
The distressed finish is integral to the design. While the leather will naturally age and develop its own patina, the intended 'used' aesthetic is quite durable. Avoid excessive cleaning or harsh treatments that could alter this.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears too dry or stiff
Apply a leather conditioner specifically formulated for washed or distressed leather. Use sparingly to avoid altering the 'used' aesthetic.
White marks or scuffs on the distressed finish
Minor scuffs on the distressed finish are part of the intended look. For significant marks, try a leather eraser or a specialized product for distressed leather, testing first on a hidden spot.
Insole feels uncomfortable
Ensure the insole is correctly positioned. If discomfort persists, remove the original insole and insert a compatible, customized orthotic or a different insert.
Soles show signs of wear
The artisanal sole is designed for a unique look. For significant wear affecting grip, consult a cobbler for potential sole repair or reinforcement.

Care Instructions:
To maintain the unique look and quality of your Philippe Model Prsx trainers:
- Cleaning Leather: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. For tougher stains, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for washed or distressed leather. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
- Laces: If laces become visibly dirty, they can be removed and hand-washed gently or replaced.
- Soles: Clean the rubber sole with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape. Avoid storing in plastic bags, as leather needs to breathe.
