Featuring a lightweight build and a responsive Memory Foam insole, these trainers excel in providing support during long walks or casual commutes. While the leather construction ensures durability and a premium feel, users should note that the 4.7 cm sole height gives the shoe a distinct profile that may require an adjustment period if you are accustomed to flatter, minimalist footwear.

FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No. Machine washing will damage the leather and the internal memory foam components. Clean with a damp cloth instead.
How high is the platform sole?
The sole height is 4.7 cm, providing both an elevated aesthetic and improved shock absorption.
Do these trainers run true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard adult UK sizing. If you prefer a looser fit or wear thick socks, some users recommend going up a half size.
Can I replace the insoles?
The insoles are designed to be removable, allowing you to clean them or replace them with custom orthotics if necessary.
Is the material waterproof?
The leather is water-resistant against light splashes, but it is not fully waterproof. Avoid wearing in heavy rain.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed from high-quality leather, paired with a textile lining and a Phylon sole.
Troubleshooting
Sole grip feels slippery on polished floors
New trainers often have a factory coating on the rubber; wear them on dry pavement for a few hours to scuff the soles and improve traction.
Memory foam feels flat after long usage
Remove the insole and let it air out for 24 hours. If it remains compressed, ensure you are wearing the correct size and not putting excessive localized pressure on one spot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Hoff City MkII Trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: While the memory foam is comfortable immediately, allow 2-3 wears for the leather upper to fully adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the leather upper. Avoid machine washing or submerging in water, as this can degrade the leather and the integrity of the foam insole.
- Conditioning: Apply a leather-safe conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather discoloration and material fatigue.
- Compatibility: These are unisex trainers; ensure you verify the UK sizing before purchase, as the fit is true to size for standard adult foot widths.
