FAQs
Are these sneakers true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to standard UK sizing, though the stiff leather may feel snug at first.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the integrity of the rubber sole. Hand cleaning is strongly recommended.
How much height do the soles add?
The platform sole provides an additional 4-5 centimeters of height.
Do the shoes need a break-in period?
Yes, because of the premium quality leather and chunky sole, they may feel slightly rigid until the leather softens with wear.
Are these suitable for running?
No, these are designed as lifestyle fashion trainers and do not offer the support or flexibility required for running.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty putting the shoe on initially
Loosen the flat laces completely down to the third eyelet to allow for extra room when sliding your foot into the shoe.
Scuff marks on the white rubber sole
Use a white rubber eraser or a dedicated shoe cleaning wipe specifically formulated for rubber to gently lift surface marks.
Leather creasing at the toe box
Use shoe trees when not in use to help the leather retain its natural shape and minimize deep-set creases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Proper care is essential to keep the white leather looking sharp.
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper regularly with a damp, soft cloth. For the rubber sole, use a specialized sneaker eraser or a mild soap solution to remove scuff marks.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the leather to yellow over time.
- Lacing: The oversized aesthetic is best maintained by keeping the wide, flat laces tensioned consistently.
- Compatibility: These trainers fit true to size, but given the structure of the leather, it is recommended to wear standard thickness cotton socks to prevent friction during the first few wears.
