FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
While the Paul Smith Lee Shoe offers a secure lace-up fit for adjustability, specific information on fit for wide feet is not available. It is recommended to try them on to ensure optimal comfort.
Can I wear these trainers in the rain?
These shoes are made of premium leather. While occasional light rain should not be an issue, prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended as it can damage the leather. Applying a water-resistant leather protector is advisable.
How do I maintain the multicoloured stripe on the heel?
The striped detail is durable, but avoid harsh scrubbing directly on this area. Clean gently with a damp cloth if needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners that might affect the colors.
What is the best way to store these shoes?
Store your Lee Shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Using shoe trees can help them retain their shape and absorb moisture, preventing creases and odors.
Is the Paul Smith branding prominent on the shoe?
The signature PS Paul Smith branding is subtly adorned on the side, designed to offer authenticity without overwhelming the shoe's minimalist aesthetic.
Can I replace the insoles?
The shoes come with a cushioned insole designed for comfort. While not explicitly stated as removable, most standard insoles can be replaced with custom orthotics if desired, though this may alter the fit.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
This is common with new leather shoes. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the leather to soften and conform to your foot. Using a leather conditioner can also help accelerate the breaking-in process.
Leather appears dull or scuffed.
Clean the shoes regularly with a soft, damp cloth. For dullness, apply a quality leather conditioner to restore shine. For minor scuffs, a matching leather polish or balm can often help blend them away.
Laces frequently come untied.
Ensure you are tying your laces securely. A double knot can prevent laces from coming undone during activity. If laces are worn, consider replacing them.
The rubber sole looks dirty.
Clean the rubber sole with a mild soap and water solution, using a brush or sponge. For stubborn marks, a sneaker cleaner specifically designed for rubber soles can be effective.

- Lace Up: Adjust the classic lace-up fastening to achieve a secure yet comfortable fit. Ensure the laces are evenly tightened across the foot.

Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the luxurious appearance of your leather Lee Shoes:
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the leather surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust after each wear.
- Stain Removal: For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner applied according to the product's instructions. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Conditioning: Apply a high-quality leather conditioner every few months to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking.
- Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
