FAQs

Are these sneakers true to size?

It is generally recommended to consult size charts and consider trying them on if possible, as fit can be subjective. Some users find they run slightly large due to the design.

How do I clean the signature stamp on the sole?

The rubber sole, including the signature stamp, can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the design.

Can these sneakers be worn in wet weather?

While the leather can be treated for some water resistance, they are not designed for heavy rain. Prolonged exposure to moisture can damage the leather and sole. It's best to wear them in dry conditions or treat them with a waterproofing spray specifically for leather.

What is the material of the lining?

The sneakers typically feature a leather lining for comfort and breathability.

How should I store these sneakers when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees will help maintain their shape, and dust bags can protect the leather finish.

Are there different color options available?

This guide focuses on the White/Black colorway. However, Alexander McQueen often offers this sneaker style in various color combinations. Please check product listings for availability.

What is the primary material used for the upper?

The upper is crafted from smooth calfskin leather.

Troubleshooting

Sneakers feel too tight initially

Wear them for short periods indoors to allow the leather to stretch and conform to your foot shape. Using thicker socks during the break-in period can also help.

Scuffs or marks on the white leather

Gently clean with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a dedicated leather cleaning solution designed for white leather, and test in an inconspicuous spot first.

Squeaking sound from the sole

This can sometimes happen with new rubber soles. Ensure the sole is clean and dry. If the issue persists, place a small amount of talcum powder under the insole if removable, or consult a cobbler.

Oversized sole feels cumbersome

Adjusting your walking gait slightly to accommodate the sole's volume can help. Many users find they adapt quickly to the unique feel and stability offered by the design.
