FAQs

Are these shoes unisex?

Yes, the LX Authentic 44 is designed as a unisex trainer suitable for all adults.

What is the primary material used?

These trainers are constructed with a premium leather upper.

Are these suitable for long-distance walking?

While they are comfortable for daily use, they feature the classic flat sole of a skate shoe and lack significant arch support.

How do I choose my size?

The trainers use standard UK adult sizing; if you are between sizes, consider the leather's natural tendency to break in over time.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the leather and the adhesive bonding of the soles. Spot cleaning is recommended.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight initially

Leather will naturally soften and stretch to fit your foot shape after a few days of consistent wear.

Sole is losing grip due to dirt

Wipe the rubber outsole with a damp cloth or a soft brush to remove built-up grime and restore traction.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable high-quality leather upper
  • Excellent grip for board control
  • Timeless 70s aesthetic
  • Comfortable for extended wear

Cons

  • Leather may feel stiff initially
  • Minimal arch support typical of flat skate shoes
  • Limited colour options

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers are ready to wear out of the box, but leather often benefits from a brief break-in period. To maintain the appearance of the black leather:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the upper with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris.
  2. Leather Care: Use a leather conditioner periodically to prevent the material from drying or cracking.
  3. Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the colour and material strength.
  4. Laces: Ensure laces are tightened to your preference to secure the foot, as the leather provides less stretch than fabric alternatives.
