FAQs

Are these shoes water-resistant?

While leather is naturally more water-resistant than fabric, we recommend applying a leather-safe water repellent spray to protect against moisture.

How should I clean the black leather?

Clean the surface with a damp cloth and use a quality black leather cream to maintain the color and suppleness.

Do these run true to size?

Yes, the LEO trainers are designed to fit standard UK adult sizes.

Can I use these for running or the gym?

These are designed as lifestyle trainers. They lack the cushioning and technical support required for high-impact sports.

Does the leather fade over time?

Like all leather products, proper conditioning will keep the color rich and minimize fading from sun exposure.

Troubleshooting

The leather feels stiff initially.

Wear them indoors for short periods or use a leather conditioner to soften the material during the break-in phase.

Scuffs appearing on the leather surface.

Use a matching black leather cream and a soft buffing cloth to blend scuffs back into the original finish.

Discomfort during long walks.

Ensure you are using the correct size; leather shoes may require an insole adjustment if you need extra arch support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Vagabond Shoemakers LEO trainers maintain their appearance, follow these care instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the leather surface with a damp cloth after each use to remove dust or debris.
  2. Maintenance: Apply a high-quality leather cream or polish periodically to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
  3. Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading and leather degradation.
  4. Compatibility: These trainers fit true to size. If you plan to wear thick socks, consider how the structured leather may feel at your standard size compared to softer textile alternatives.
  5. Protection: Use a water-repellent spray specifically formulated for leather to protect the finish against unexpected rain.
