FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The Maison Margiela Replica series generally follows standard UK sizing; however, since they are leather, they may feel slightly snug initially before softening.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing will damage the leather and suede materials and compromise the structural integrity of the shoe.
What is the signature stitch on the heel?
The single white stitch on the heel is a hallmark of Maison Margiela, symbolizing the brand's identity and minimalist approach.
Do these shoes provide good arch support?
They offer standard support for casual daily wear. If you require significant arch support, you may consider adding a thin, custom insole.
How do I protect the suede from rain?
It is highly recommended to apply a professional-grade water and stain repellent spray specifically formulated for suede before the first wear.
Troubleshooting
Stains on the suede panels
Use a specialized suede eraser or a soft-bristled brush to gently lift dirt; avoid liquid cleaners.
Creasing in the leather toe box
Use wooden shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the shoe shape and reduce permanent creasing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are luxury trainers, proper care is essential to extending their lifespan. Upon purchase, it is recommended to use a protective leather and suede spray to provide a barrier against moisture and dirt. For cleaning, avoid submerging the shoes in water; instead, use a soft, dry brush to gently remove surface dust from the suede panels and a damp, lint-free cloth for the leather sections. Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or the colour from fading. Always ensure laces are loosened before removing the shoes to prevent heel damage.
