FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The lace-up fastening allows for some adjustment. However, if you have significantly wide feet, it's recommended to try them on or consult sizing guides for a precise fit, as they are designed with a standard width in mind.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the leather can be treated, these trainers are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or moderately damp conditions. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.
How do I clean the white EVA sole?
Use a damp cloth or a soft brush with mild soap and water to clean the EVA outsole. For stubborn marks, a magic eraser sponge can be effective, but test on a small area first.
What is the 'Heritage Strobel construction'?
Strobel construction is a method where the upper is stitched to a fabric bottom, then attached to the midsole. This often results in a more flexible and comfortable shoe.
How often should I condition the leather?
The frequency depends on usage and climate. Generally, conditioning every 3-6 months is recommended for normal wear to maintain leather health and appearance.
Can the footbed be removed?
The moulded Contour Cushion footbed is integrated for support. While not typically designed for removal, some users may be able to gently ease it out if necessary for cleaning or adding alternative insoles.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff initially
Leather shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Flexing the shoes gently by hand can also help.
Discoloration on leather
Use a specialized leather cleaner suitable for the black leather finish. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid excessive moisture.
Laces wear out or break
Replace laces with a similar type and length. Many shoe repair shops or online retailers offer replacement laces.
Foot discomfort after prolonged wear
Ensure laces are adjusted correctly for optimal support. Consider using additional insoles if more arch support is needed, though the Contour Cushion footbed is designed for support.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning Leather: For general cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. For tougher marks, a dedicated leather cleaner can be used sparingly.
- Conditioning Leather: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent drying or cracking. Follow the product instructions for application.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape.
- Soles: The EVA outsole can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Laces: Clean laces separately by hand or in a gentle wash cycle in a garment bag.
