FAQs

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is made from high-quality smooth white calfskin leather.

What is the sole made of?

The sole is made of rubber.

Are these suitable for formal events?

These sneakers are designed for smart-casual occasions rather than highly formal events. They pair well with many outfits but are not a substitute for formal footwear.

How do I clean the blue patterned laces?

The laces can be carefully removed and hand-washed with mild soap and water. Allow them to air dry completely before reinserting.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the leather can be treated for some water resistance, they are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain to protect the leather and prevent water damage.

What is the significance of the Equestrian Knight motif?

The Equestrian Knight motif is a historic symbol of the Burberry brand, featured here as a subtle perforation on the side of the sneakers, adding a touch of heritage.

How does the sizing run for these trainers?

These trainers generally follow standard UK sizing. It is recommended to refer to the brand's specific size guide for the most accurate fit.

Troubleshooting

White leather scuff marks

Gently buff out minor scuffs with a soft eraser or a specialized leather cleaner. For deeper marks, consult a professional leather care specialist.

Discomfort from the platform sole

Wear the sneakers for short periods initially to allow your feet to adjust. Ensure the sizing is correct; if too tight or loose, it can exacerbate discomfort.

Blue dye transfer from laces

If the blue dye from the laces transfers to the white leather, clean the affected area immediately with a leather cleaner. Consider replacing the laces with a color that does not bleed.

Slight stiffness in new leather

The leather will soften with wear. Wearing them for short durations around the house can help break them in gradually.
