FAQs

What material are the Dolce & Gabbana Portofino Trainers made from?

The trainers feature a calfskin leather upper, a leather lining, and a 100% rubber sole.

How should I clean the leather parts of the trainers?

Wipe the leather with a soft, dry cloth. For tougher dirt, use a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry. Regular conditioning with a leather conditioner is recommended.

Are these trainers suitable for athletic activities?

No, the Portofino trainers are designed as fashion footwear and are not intended for sports or strenuous athletic activities. They are best suited for casual wear.

What is the heel height and platform measurement?

The heel measures approximately 0.8 inches (2 cm) and the platform measures approximately 0.6 inches (1.5 cm).

How do I ensure I get the correct size?

Refer to the size guide for Dolce & Gabbana footwear. These trainers are listed in UK adult men's sizes. Ensure a snug but comfortable fit without excessive pressure points.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the rubber sole offers some protection, prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended for the leather upper. It's best to avoid wearing them in very wet conditions to preserve the leather.

What does the 'maxi logo print on side' refer to?

This refers to the prominent Dolce & Gabbana logo graphic printed on the side panel of the trainers, a key design feature.

Troubleshooting

Leather creasing significantly

Creasing is natural with leather. To minimize it, ensure a proper fit and use shoe trees when not wearing. Condition the leather regularly.

Rubber sole becoming dirty

Clean the rubber sole with a damp cloth and mild soap solution. Ensure it is fully dried before storage.

Discomfort after initial wear

Leather trainers often require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially. Ensure the size is correct; too tight or loose can cause discomfort.

White logo detail on the back showing minor scuffs

Gently clean the area with a soft cloth. For persistent marks, a specialized white shoe cleaner might be effective, but test on an inconspicuous area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: These trainers require no specific setup. Simply unbox, try them on for fit, and wear them. Ensure laces are tied appropriately for a secure fit.

Compatibility: The Portofino trainers are designed for adult male footwear. They are compatible with a wide range of casual and smart-casual attire.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and dirt. For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry completely. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Conditioning: Use a specialized leather conditioner periodically to keep the calfskin supple and prevent drying or cracking. Apply sparingly with a soft cloth.
  • Soles: Clean the rubber soles with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by a rinse with a damp cloth.
  • Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a dust bag, to protect them from dust and direct sunlight. Stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape when not in use.
