FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
These trainers feature a standard fitting. While the laces offer some adjustability, if you typically require a wide fit, it's recommended to try them on first or consult a sizing guide for Josef Seibel footwear.
Can I wear these in the rain?
While the nubuck leather offers some natural water resistance, these trainers are not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided, and a protective spray for nubuck leather can offer additional defense.
How do I clean the white sole?
The thick white sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. For tougher marks, a specialized sneaker sole cleaner or a soft-bristled brush can be used to gently scrub away dirt.
What is nubuck leather?
Nubuck leather is a top-grain leather that has been buffed on the grain side (outside) to give it a slight nap of short protein fibers, producing a velvet-like surface. It is known for its durability and soft texture, but requires specific care.
Are the insoles truly removable?
Yes, the insoles are designed to be easily removed, allowing you to insert personal orthotics or replace them for customized comfort. Gently lift them out from the heel end.
What type of socks should I wear with these?
For optimal comfort and to maintain the interior lining, we recommend wearing moisture-wicking socks. The choice of thickness can depend on personal preference and weather conditions, but a breathable material will enhance comfort.
Is the side zip purely for aesthetics?
No, the side zip is fully functional and designed to make putting on and taking off the trainers easier, offering a convenient alternative to undoing the laces every time. It allows for quick entry and exit.
Troubleshooting
Nubuck leather looks dull or dirty
Use a specialized nubuck brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, apply a nubuck-specific cleaner according to its instructions.
Trainers feel too snug or loose
Adjust the lace-up fastening for a more customized fit. Remember that the leather may stretch slightly with wear. If insoles are causing fit issues, try removing them or replacing them with thinner alternatives.
Sole appears discolored or scuffed
Clean the rubber sole with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn scuffs, a white sole cleaner or magic eraser can be effective. Avoid abrasive materials that could damage the rubber.
Side zip becomes stiff or difficult to operate
Ensure the zip is clean and free of debris. A small amount of silicone-based lubricant or a graphite pencil rubbed on the teeth can help improve smoothness. Do not force the zip.

Care
To maintain the nubuck leather:
- Brush Regularly: Use a specialized nubuck brush to gently brush off dry dirt and restore the nap of the leather.
- Clean Stains: For stains, use a nubuck cleaner according to its instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Avoid Water/Chemicals: Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water, which can damage the nubuck material. If they get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Protection: Consider applying a protective spray specifically designed for nubuck leather to enhance water and stain resistance.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading or material degradation.
For the white sole, a gentle scrub with mild soap and water can keep it clean. For stubborn scuffs, a white sole cleaner or a magic eraser can be effective.
