FAQs
Are these Paul Smith PS Lee Shoes suitable for all weather conditions?
While made from durable leather, these shoes are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or extreme wetness is not recommended and may require extra care to prevent damage to the leather.
How often should I condition the leather uppers?
The frequency depends on how often you wear the shoes and the local climate. As a general rule, conditioning every 1-3 months is recommended to keep the leather supple, prevent drying, and maintain its aesthetic appeal.
Can I machine wash these leather shoes?
No, these Paul Smith PS Lee Shoes, being made of 100% leather, should not be machine washed. Machine washing can severely damage the leather and the shoe's overall structure. Please refer to the 'Care' section for proper cleaning methods.
What size should I choose if I'm typically between sizes?
Paul Smith shoes generally run true to size. If you are usually a UK 12, that size should fit. However, if you find yourself consistently between sizes, it is often recommended to choose the larger size for initial comfort, especially with leather shoes that may require some break-in.
What is the function of the 'Sports Stripe' grosgrain heel pulls?
The 'Sports Stripe' grosgrain heel pulls are designed to assist you in pulling on the shoes more easily, in addition to serving as a distinctive and iconic Paul Smith design detail.
How long will the rubber soles last?
The durable rubber soles are designed for longevity under regular use. Their lifespan will depend on factors like frequency of wear, walking surfaces, and individual gait. Proper cleaning and care can help extend their life.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dull or dry
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner or moisturizer specifically designed for smooth leather. Gently buff with a soft, clean cloth after application to restore shine and suppleness.
Shoes feel too tight or loose during wear
Adjust the lacing tension. For a tighter fit, pull laces firmer through the eyelets. For a looser fit, slacken the laces slightly. Ensure the padded ankle collar is snug but not restrictive.
Minor scuffs or scratches appear on the leather
For light scuffs, use a leather cream polish in a matching black color and buff gently with a soft cloth. For deeper scratches, specialized leather repair products or professional assistance may be required.
Soles become slippery
Clean the rubber soles thoroughly with a brush and mild soap to remove any accumulated dirt, grit, or residue that might be reducing traction. Rinse well and air dry.

Care
- Cleaning Leather Uppers: Regularly wipe down the 100% leather uppers with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner, following the product's instructions carefully. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Conditioning: Apply a high-quality leather conditioner every few weeks or months, depending on wear and environmental conditions. This helps keep the leather supple, prevents drying, and maintains its natural luster. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Protection: Consider applying a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains, especially before initial wear and periodically thereafter. Ensure the product is suitable for smooth leather.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, stuff them with plain newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, direct sunlight) which can cause the leather to crack or stiffen.
- Storage: When not in use, store your shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help absorb moisture and maintain the shoe's original shape, preventing creasing.
- Sole Care: Clean the durable rubber soles with a brush and mild soap if needed to maintain their appearance and traction.
