Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these trainers waterproof?
These trainers are primarily made of leather and are not inherently waterproof. While a protective spray can offer some resistance, they are best suited for dry conditions.
How often should I condition the leather?
It is recommended to condition the leather every 3-6 months, depending on wear and climate, or whenever the leather appears dry.
Can I wear these for sports?
These trainers are designed for casual and smart-casual wear, not for athletic activities. They do not offer the specialized support or cushioning required for sports.
What does 'Leather Working Group-certified' mean?
It means the leather used has been audited and certified by the Leather Working Group for environmental best practices in the tanning process.
How do I clean the laces?
Remove the laces and wash them by hand with mild soap and water. Allow them to air dry completely before re-lacing.
Can I use regular shoe polish on these?
It is best to use products specifically designed for the type of leather. Consult the product packaging or a shoe care specialist if unsure.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dry or cracked
Apply a good quality leather conditioner to restore moisture and suppleness. Ensure regular conditioning.
Minor scuffs or scratches
Use a leather cleaner and a soft cloth to gently buff out minor marks. For deeper scratches, a leather repair kit or professional service may be needed.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the soles are clean and free from debris. For persistent issues on very smooth surfaces, consider a shoe repair specialist for alternative sole treatments.
Discoloration from water exposure
Allow the trainers to air dry slowly away from heat. Once dry, use a leather conditioner. It's best to avoid significant water exposure by using protective sprays.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers require no specific setup; they are ready to wear upon purchase. They are compatible with most casual and smart-casual outfits. To care for your Stephan Trainers:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe away dirt and dust with a soft, dry cloth. For tougher stains, use a slightly damp cloth and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner periodically to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. Use a product specifically designed for leather footwear.
- Protection: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray suitable for leather to offer an additional layer of protection against the elements, especially before wearing them in potentially damp conditions.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a dust bag, to maintain their shape and protect the leather.
