FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

These trainers are designed for casual wear and lifestyle use. While they are inspired by tennis shoes, they do not offer the specialized support or cushioning required for running or intense athletic activities.

How do I determine my correct UK size?

Refer to standard UK sizing charts. Measure your foot length from heel to toe and compare it with the size guide. These trainers are designed for a standard fit.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

The leather upper offers some protection, but these trainers are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally and consider using a leather protector spray.

What is the difference between the leather and other Baseline models?

The primary difference is the upper material. This model features a full-grain leather upper for a premium feel and durability, whereas other models might use synthetic materials or canvas.

How often should I clean and condition the leather?

For best results, clean with a damp cloth after each significant wear. Apply a leather conditioner or cream every few months, or as needed, especially if the leather appears dry or is exposed to harsh conditions.

Are the recycled polyester laces durable?

Yes, recycled polyester is a strong and durable material, comparable to conventional polyester, ensuring the laces are robust for everyday use while supporting sustainability efforts.

What does the embroidered Laurel Wreath signify?

The Laurel Wreath is the iconic symbol of the Fred Perry brand, representing its heritage in sportswear and subculture fashion.

Troubleshooting

Leather creasing significantly

This is natural for leather. Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape. Avoid over-tightening laces, which can contribute to creasing.

Scuffs or scratches on the leather

For minor scuffs, try buffing with a soft cloth. For deeper scratches, a matching color leather cream or polish may be applied to disguise the mark.

Discoloration after getting wet

Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, clean and reapply a leather protector. Avoid exposing wet leather to excessive heat.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces

The rubber sole provides traction, but may perform differently on highly polished or wet surfaces. Ensure the sole is clean. For persistent issues, consider a rubber sole treatment or professional sole grip application.
