FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they are designed with a regular fit; most users find their standard size is the most comfortable.

Can I use these for sports?

While inspired by basketball, they are intended for lifestyle and casual wear rather than modern high-performance athletics.

What is the best way to clean white leather?

Use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution and dry them away from direct heat or sunlight.

Is the material genuine leather?

Yes, the upper is constructed from durable leather for a premium feel and long-term wear.

Do these shoes provide good arch support?

The Rivalry 86 offers standard, flat-sole support typical of classic cupsole trainers.

Troubleshooting

Leather looks scuffed or dirty

Use a specialized leather cleaner and a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface debris.

Shoes feel too stiff

Wear the shoes with thick socks for short periods at home to gently break in the leather upper.

Creasing at the toe box

Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather; use cedar shoe trees when not wearing to help maintain the shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Rivalry 86 trainers last as long as possible, follow these guidelines:

  1. Break-in: Wear them for short durations initially to allow the leather to soften and mold to your foot shape.
  2. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or a damp cloth with mild soap to wipe away dirt. Avoid soaking the leather.
  3. Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent yellowing or material cracking.
  4. Protection: Consider applying a protective leather spray to guard against minor scuffs and water penetration.
  5. Lacing: Adjust the laces firmly but avoid overtightening to prevent unnecessary stress on the eyelets.
