FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for professional football matches?
These shoes are designed for casual wear and light athletic activities. They may not provide the specialized support and performance features required for professional football matches.
What is the best way to clean the gold accents?
Gently wipe the gold accents with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture, which could damage the finish.
How should I store these shoes when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree or stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape.
Can I put these shoes in a washing machine?
No, never put leather shoes in a washing machine. This can damage the leather, the adhesives, and the overall structure of the shoe.
What does 'Low Shoes' mean in the product title?
'Low Shoes' refers to the cut of the shoe, meaning it sits below the ankle bone, as opposed to high-top shoes that extend above the ankle.
How do I know if I have the correct size?
Ensure there is a comfortable fit around the toe box and heel. Your heel should not slip excessively when walking. Refer to the sizing chart for UK to international conversions if needed.
Troubleshooting
Leather scuffs easily
Use a leather conditioner and a matching color shoe cream or polish to mask minor scuffs. For deeper scuffs, consider professional leather repair.
Laces fray or break
Replace laces with standard athletic shoe laces of a similar length and material. Consider waxed laces for increased durability.
Sole feels slippery after wear
Clean the rubber outsole with soap and water to remove accumulated dirt and debris that may be reducing traction. Ensure the outsole is completely dry before use.
Shoes feel tight after initial wear
Leather will mold to your foot over time. If still uncomfortable, try wearing them with thinner socks or use a shoe stretcher for persistent tightness in specific areas.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the leather upper with a slightly damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner. Avoid excessive water.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or their original box, to protect them from dust and maintain their shape.
