FAQs
Are these shoes water-resistant?
While the leather construction offers some natural protection, they are not waterproof. Use a high-quality protector spray to improve water resistance.
Is the Retropy E5 good for running?
The Retropy E5 is categorized as a lifestyle trainer. It is suitable for walking and daily activities, but not for long-distance or high-intensity running.
How do I determine the correct size?
The sizes provided are in UK adult sizing. It is recommended to choose your standard sneaker size for the best fit.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather, glue, and structural components of the shoe. Hand cleaning is recommended.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The Retropy E5 features a standard fit. If you have particularly wide feet, you may find the leather provides a bit of natural stretch over time.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather upper
Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather; using cedar shoe trees after wearing helps to maintain shape and minimize deep creases.
Stains on the cream material
Use a gentle leather cleaner specifically formulated for light-colored leathers and avoid harsh chemicals that may cause discoloration.
Laces coming untied
Double-knot the laces or swap to flatter laces if the factory set is too slick for your activity level.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Retropy E5 trainers last, follow these care steps:
- Initial Protection: Apply a leather-safe water and stain repellent spray before first use to create a barrier against the elements.
- Cleaning: Wipe away surface dirt with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft-bristled brush.
- Drying: Always let your shoes air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the leather to crack.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place and use shoe trees to help maintain the shape of the leather upper.
- Fit: These trainers are designed for adult sizing; ensure you select the appropriate UK size for the best fit to prevent heel slippage.
