FAQs

How do I determine my correct UK size?

Refer to the size chart provided by the brand or retailer. Generally, UK sizing differs from US or EU sizing, so checking measurements is key. These are adult women's sizing.

Are these sneakers suitable for wide feet?

The rounded toe offers some room, but the fit is generally considered standard. If you have particularly wide feet, trying them on in person or checking specific customer reviews for fit feedback is recommended.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the leather is durable, it is not waterproof. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or through puddles, as excessive moisture can damage the leather. Ensure they are properly dried if they do get wet.

What is the environmental initiative regarding dust bags?

ALEXANDER MCQUEEN has stopped including dust bags with sneakers to reduce environmental impact and cotton consumption.

How often should I condition the leather?

For optimal care, condition the leather every 3-6 months, depending on wear frequency and climate. This helps maintain the leather's softness and prevents drying.

Is the oversized sole heavy?

The oversized sole is constructed from rubber, which has a moderate weight. While substantial, it is designed for comfort and balance during wear.

Troubleshooting

Leather creasing or wrinkling

Natural leather will crease with wear. To minimize appearance, ensure proper fit and use shoe trees for storage. Avoid over-tightening laces.

Discoloration on the rubber sole

Clean the sole gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher scuffs, try a magic eraser, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Laces becoming dirty

Remove laces and hand wash them with mild detergent and water. Allow them to air dry completely before re-lacing.

Water spots on leather

If the leather gets wet, blot immediately with a soft, dry cloth. Allow to air dry naturally away from heat. Apply a leather conditioner once dry if needed.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the leather exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Suede/Leather Conditioner: Periodically use a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent drying or cracking.
  3. Sole Maintenance: Clean the rubber sole with a damp cloth or a mild soap solution. For stubborn marks, a magic eraser can be used carefully.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. It is recommended to store them upright to maintain their shape. While dust bags are no longer provided, using a shoe tree can help preserve their form.
