FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While based on heritage running designs, these are intended for lifestyle and casual use rather than long-distance athletic training.
How do I clean the white portions?
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a mild soap solution on a soft cloth, focusing only on the soiled areas.
Do these fit true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard sizing, but leather can feel snug initially and will mold to your foot over time.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable if you prefer to use custom orthotics or aftermarket comfort inserts.
Are they water-resistant?
The leather upper provides light protection, but they are not waterproof and should not be worn in heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Leather becoming stiff
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner to restore flexibility and prevent cracking.
Creasing at the toe box
Use cedar shoe trees when not wearing to help the material retain its shape and absorb moisture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Saucony Shadow Originals, wipe the leather surface regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents. For the best fit, ensure you are wearing the appropriate sock thickness for your foot size, as leather does not stretch as much as synthetic materials. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from cracking. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally by stuffing them with paper to maintain their shape.
