FAQs

What material are the Oliver Sweeney Leon Trainers made from?

The main body of the trainer is made from soft tumbled white calf leather, with contrasting soft navy calf suede accents and a blue suede heel back and tongue trim. The sole is natural gum rubber.

Are these trainers suitable for formal wear?

The Leon Trainers are designed for casual and smart-casual wear. While they offer a refined aesthetic, they are not intended for formal occasions.

How do I clean the white leather and suede parts?

For the leather, use a damp cloth and a leather cleaner if needed. For the suede, use a suede brush for general cleaning and a suede eraser for stains. Always test cleaning products on a small, hidden area first.

What is the sole made of?

The sole is made from natural gum rubber, featuring a stippled finish and a classic retro tread.

Do these trainers have good grip?

The natural gum rubber sole offers good grip on most dry urban surfaces. However, caution is advised on very wet or slippery conditions.

What kind of socks should I wear with these trainers?

These trainers can be worn with various types of socks, from no-show socks for a sockless look to regular casual socks. The full leather lining ensures comfort regardless of sock choice.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Consult the sizing chart provided by Oliver Sweeney. These trainers are designed for a standard adult male foot. The cushioned insole provides comfort, but a proper fit is essential for all-day wear.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears matted or dirty

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, consider a suede eraser or specialized suede cleaner.

Leather scuffs or scratches

For minor scuffs, a leather conditioner or cream polish in a matching color can often help to mask or repair the damage. Test on an inconspicuous area first.

Slight slippage on wet surfaces

The natural gum rubber sole provides good traction on dry surfaces. On very wet or slippery conditions, exercise caution. Consider alternative footwear for extremely slick environments.

Discomfort after initial wear

The leather and cushioned insole are designed for comfort. Ensure the fit is correct. If discomfort persists, wear them for shorter periods initially to allow them to break in.
