These trainers feature premium taupe calf nubuck construction and a distinctive, broader-toed cupsole profile, offering exceptional comfort and a refined aesthetic for casual or smart-casual wear.

FAQs
How do I care for the nubuck leather?
Use a dedicated nubuck brush to lift the nap and remove dirt. Keep them away from heavy rain or oils.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Lopes series is built on a broader-toed last, which typically offers more room than standard cupsole trainers.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, you should never submerge or machine wash these trainers, as it will ruin the leather and the structure of the shoe.
What is the benefit of a side-stitched cupsole?
The side stitch provides extra mechanical security between the sole and the upper, increasing the overall durability of the trainer.
Is the insole removable?
The trainers feature a cushioned leather insole. It is generally designed as a fixed component of the interior construction.
How should I store them?
Store them in a well-ventilated area with wooden shoe trees to help absorb moisture and maintain the form of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Surface marks or scuffs on the nubuck
Use a soft-bristled nubuck brush to gently buff the area. Avoid using standard liquid cleaners.
Leather feels stiff after non-use
Wear the shoes for short periods to allow the natural heat of your feet to soften the calf leather lining.
Sole is dirty from everyday walking
Wipe the white rubber cupsole edges with a damp cloth and mild soap, being careful not to get the nubuck upper wet.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure you select your standard UK size. When putting on the shoes, use a shoe horn to protect the heel structure. To clean the taupe calf nubuck, use a specialized nubuck brush to gently remove surface dust or dirt; avoid heavy water exposure or standard leather polishes, as these can permanently alter the matte texture. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from cracking. Store the trainers in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees inside to maintain their shape when not in use.
