FAQs
What type of leather are these trainers made from?
The trainers feature a black calfskin leather upper and a natural calfskin leather insole.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Refer to the UK sizing guide and try the shoes on to ensure a comfortable fit. They are designed for a standard men's fit.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The trainers are made from leather and are not designed to be fully waterproof. While they offer some resistance to light moisture, they are not suitable for heavy rain or wet conditions.
How often should I condition the leather?
It is recommended to condition the leather every 3-6 months, or more often if exposed to harsh conditions, to keep it supple and protected.
Can I wear these for hiking?
The ripple sole provides good traction, making them suitable for light trails and uneven urban terrain. However, they are primarily designed as smart-casual trainers and may not offer the same support or protection as dedicated hiking boots for rugged terrain.
What does 'handmade' mean for these shoes?
Handmade indicates that certain aspects of the shoe's construction, such as leather reinforcements, are crafted by hand, contributing to their unique quality and artisanal appeal.
What is the expected lifespan of these trainers?
With proper care and maintenance, the high-quality leather and construction should provide a long lifespan, making them a durable addition to your wardrobe.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff or uncomfortable.
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to break them in. Consider using a leather conditioner or wearing thicker socks during the break-in phase.
Scuffs or scratches on the leather.
For minor scuffs, try buffing with a soft cloth. For deeper scratches, use a matching color shoe polish or cream to disguise the mark.
Reduced grip on the sole.
Clean the ripple sole thoroughly with a brush and water to remove accumulated dirt and restore its grip pattern.
Discoloration of the leather.
Use a black shoe polish or cream specifically designed for black leather to restore color. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
