FAQs
How should I clean the white leather on these trainers?
For best results, use a specialized white leather cleaner. Apply a small amount to a clean, soft cloth, gently rub the dirty areas, then wipe off any residue with a separate damp cloth. Regular wiping with a damp cloth after each wear helps prevent dirt buildup.
Are these trainers true to size?
Yes, Paul Smith PS Lee trainers are generally considered true to size. This specific pair is a UK Men's size 9.
Can I wear these trainers in rainy weather?
While the leather offers some natural resistance, it's not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended, as it can damage the leather. Consider using a suitable leather protector spray for added water resistance.
What is the 'Sports Stripe' on the heel for?
The 'Sports Stripe' grosgrain heel pulls are a signature design detail by Paul Smith, adding a distinctive aesthetic. They also serve a practical purpose, making it easier to pull the shoes on and off.
What material are the Paul Smith PS Lee shoes made from?
These trainers are crafted from 100% smooth leather, ensuring a premium look and feel.
How can I prevent creases in the leather?
To help prevent creases, store your trainers with shoe trees when not in use. Regular conditioning of the leather also helps maintain its suppleness and reduces the appearance of creases.
Troubleshooting
White leather trainers look dull or dirty quickly.
Regularly wipe down the shoes with a soft, damp cloth after each use. For stubborn dirt, use a specialized white leather cleaner applied with a soft cloth, then wipe clean.
Scuffs or minor marks appear on the leather surface.
For light scuffs, a clean, soft rubber eraser can sometimes help. For deeper marks, apply a small amount of white leather repair cream or conditioner to blend the mark, testing first on an inconspicuous area.
The leather feels stiff or uncomfortable during initial wear.
Leather shoes often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the leather to mold to your feet. Applying a leather conditioner can also help soften the material.
Shoes are losing their shape when not worn.
Store your trainers with shoe trees inserted. This helps absorb moisture and maintain the shoe's original shape, preventing creasing and sagging.

Care
Proper care is essential to maintain the pristine look and longevity of your white leather trainers.
- Regular Cleaning: After each wear, gently wipe down the leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dust and dirt.
- Deep Cleaning (White Leather): For deeper cleaning, use a specialized white leather cleaner or a mild soap solution. Apply sparingly to a clean cloth, gently wipe the shoe, then wipe off any residue with a separate damp cloth.
- Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner every few weeks to keep the leather soft, prevent cracking, and maintain its luster. This is crucial for smooth leather.
- Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to create a barrier against water and stains, especially important for white shoes. Reapply periodically.
- Spot Treatment: For minor scuffs, a white leather repair cream or even a magic eraser (used *very gently* and sparingly) can help, but always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Drying: If shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape, then allow them to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture. Keep them in their original dust bag if provided, to protect from dust.
