FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
The 'Oversized Sneaker' line generally has a standard fit. While the design is roomy due to its aesthetic, those with significantly wide feet might find them snug depending on the specific fit and how they are laced. It's recommended to try them on if possible.
How do I maintain the white colour?
Regularly wipe them with a damp cloth. Use a specialized white leather cleaner for tougher stains and consider a protective spray. Store them away from direct sunlight to prevent yellowing.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the rubber sole offers some protection, the calf leather upper is not waterproof. Wearing them in heavy rain is not recommended as it can lead to water damage and staining. If they do get wet, dry them naturally away from heat.
What is the typical lifespan of these trainers?
With proper care and regular maintenance, these trainers can last for several years. The durable construction and quality materials contribute to longevity, but daily wear and tear will eventually affect them.
How do I choose the correct size?
Refer to the brand's specific size guide. These trainers are generally true to size, but individual fit can vary. Comparing measurements to a similar shoe you own can also be helpful.
Are these trainers heavy?
The 'oversized' sole does add some weight compared to a slim-profile sneaker. However, they are generally considered comfortable for their style, and the weight is balanced by the overall design and cushioning.
Troubleshooting
White leather showing scuffs or marks.
Gently clean the affected area with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water, or use a specialized leather cleaner. For persistent marks, consult a professional leather care service.
Soles appear dirty and dull.
Use a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap to clean the rubber soles. A soft brush can help remove dirt from crevices. Wipe clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.
Leather creasing significantly.
Creasing is natural with leather. To minimize its appearance when not in use, insert shoe trees to maintain the shoe's shape. Avoid over-stuffing the shoes.
Laces becoming dirty.
Remove the laces and wash them by hand with mild detergent and water. Alternatively, they can often be machine washed in a garment bag on a gentle cycle. Ensure they are completely dry before re-lacing.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: For regular cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For tougher stains on the leather, use a dedicated leather cleaner, testing it on an inconspicuous area first.
- Soles: The rubber soles can be cleaned with a damp cloth or a soft brush. For stubborn dirt on the sole, a mixture of mild soap and water can be used, followed by rinsing with a clean, damp cloth.
- Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray specifically designed for white leather to help repel water and stains. Reapply periodically.
- Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, ideally in their original box or a dust bag to prevent dust accumulation and maintain their shape.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, bleach, or harsh solvents, as these can damage the leather and finish.
