FAQs
Are these trainers waterproof?
These trainers are made from leather and are not inherently waterproof. They offer some protection against light moisture, but are not suitable for heavy rain or wet conditions.
What is the heel height?
The heel height is approximately 35mm (3.5 cm).
Can I wear these for running?
While they offer good cushioning and support for walking, these trainers are designed for casual wear and are not intended for high-impact running activities. Specialized running shoes would be more appropriate.
How do I clean the leather exterior?
Wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt, use a mild leather cleaner. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally.
What is the 'Strobel construction' mentioned?
Strobel construction is a method where the upper is stitched to a fabric insole, contributing to the shoe's flexibility and a more secure fit.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The lace-up fastening allows for some adjustment, but these trainers are designed with a standard fit. If you have significantly wide feet, it's recommended to try them on before purchasing.
What other colors are available?
The Hollyhock Walk model is available in various colors including Purple, White, Copper, and Burgundy, in addition to this Black variant.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight on first wear
Leather shoes often require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Consider using a shoe stretcher if tightness persists.
Squeaking noise from the sole
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try walking on different surfaces or inserting a thin insole to see if it resolves the sound. Ensure no debris is trapped in the outsole grooves.
Leather scuffs easily
For minor scuffs, try buffing with a soft cloth or a specialized leather eraser. For deeper scuffs, a black shoe polish or cream matching the leather color can help restore the finish.

Care Instructions:
