FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
The Sergio trainers feature a standard fit. While the lace-up design allows for some adjustment, individuals with significantly wide feet might find them snug. It is advisable to try them on if possible or consult customer reviews regarding fit for wider feet.
How do I break in these leather trainers?
Most leather shoes require a short break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing the duration. Wearing them with good quality socks can also help cushion and shape the leather to your foot.
Can I wear these trainers in the rain?
While the leather is of good quality, these trainers are not fully waterproof. For light rain, they may offer some protection, especially if treated with a waterproofing spray. For heavy rain or prolonged exposure to wet conditions, it's advisable to wear footwear specifically designed for such weather.
What does 'Leather Working Group-certified' mean?
It signifies that the leather used has been produced by factories audited by the Leather Working Group (LWG). This ensures that the leather is made in an environmentally responsible manner, focusing on factors like energy use, water consumption, and waste management.
How often should I condition the leather?
The frequency depends on usage and climate. In general, conditioning every 3-6 months is a good practice. If you wear them frequently or in dry conditions, you may need to condition them more often.
Can the blue color fade over time?
Like most dyed materials, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading. Proper care, storage away from direct light, and using leather protectors can help maintain the color's vibrancy.
Troubleshooting
Leather creasing excessively
Ensure proper fit. Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape and minimize creasing. Avoid over-conditioning, which can soften the leather too much.
Traction seems reduced
Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove any embedded dirt or debris that might be affecting grip. Check for excessive wear on the sole pattern.
Discoloration from water or stains
Address spills immediately by dabbing with a clean cloth. For water marks, allow the shoes to dry naturally. If discoloration persists, consult a professional shoe repair service or use a color-matched leather restorer, testing first in an inconspicuous area.

Care:
