FAQs
Are these trainers waterproof?
While the leather uppers offer some natural resistance to light moisture, these trainers are not designed to be fully waterproof. We recommend avoiding heavy rain or puddles to protect the materials.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather, internal cushioning, and adhesives. Please refer to the 'Care & Maintenance' section for proper cleaning instructions.
What is the recommended cleaning method for the leather?
For the leather uppers, wipe with a damp cloth for surface dirt, then use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner to maintain the material's quality and appearance.
Do they run true to size?
Josef Seibel trainers generally run true to size with a `Standard` fitting. We recommend selecting your usual shoe size, but if you are between sizes, consider trying them on if possible.
Are the insoles replaceable?
Yes, the Josef Seibel Claire 03 trainers feature removable insoles, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics or replace them if desired.
Can these trainers be worn for sports or running?
These trainers are designed for casual everyday wear and comfort, not for high-impact sports or running. For athletic activities, we recommend shoes specifically designed for those purposes.
What materials are used in these trainers?
The uppers are made of high-quality leather, the lining is a combination of leather and textile, and the sole is made of durable rubber.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the lace-up fastening to achieve a more customized fit. If using removable insoles, try wearing them without to see if that improves the fit, or consider replacing them with thinner or thicker insoles if needed. Remember the `Standard` fit.
Side zip is stiff or difficult to operate.
Ensure no fabric or debris is caught in the zipper teeth. Gently rub a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a zipper lubricant along the teeth to help it glide more smoothly.
Unpleasant odor develops inside the trainers.
Remove the insoles and allow them and the trainers to air out completely. Use a shoe deodorizer or sprinkle baking soda inside the trainers overnight to absorb odors. Ensure trainers are fully dry after wear.
Leather appears dull or dry.
Clean the leather uppers as described in the care section, then apply a good quality leather conditioner or cream. This will help moisturize the leather and restore its appearance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup & First Use
Simply unlace the trainers or unzip the side zip, slide your foot in, and then secure the laces to your preferred comfort level. The side zip can then be used for quick access on subsequent wears.
Compatibility
These trainers are designed with a `Standard` fitting, making them suitable for most average foot widths. If you typically require a wide or narrow fit, you may need to try them on to ensure optimal comfort. The removable insoles allow for compatibility with custom orthotics, provided they fit the shoe's internal dimensions.
Care & Maintenance
- Leather Uppers: To clean, wipe with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning and conditioning, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.
- Lining: The leather and textile lining can be gently wiped with a slightly damp cloth. Ensure they air dry completely before wearing.
- Sole: The rubber sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and grime.
- Drying: Always allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to maintain material integrity.
