FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the Stan Smith is a lifestyle trainer and does not have the necessary cushioning or support for running.
How do I choose the correct size?
These trainers follow standard UK sizing. If you typically wear wide-width shoes, you may want to ensure the laces are adjusted correctly for more volume.
Are these made of real leather?
The classic Stan Smith construction utilizes durable materials. Please refer to the specific model labeling for confirmation of material composition.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash your trainers, as this can damage the glue and leather. Use hand-cleaning methods instead.
Are they slip-resistant?
The rubber outsole provides standard grip for everyday urban surfaces, but they are not categorized as slip-resistant safety footwear.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight during initial wear.
Adjust the lace tension starting from the bottom eyelets to loosen the forefoot area.
Leather surface shows creases.
This is a natural characteristic of leather footwear; using a shoe tree when not in use helps maintain shape and minimizes deep creasing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers last, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather surface with a damp cloth after each use to prevent dirt buildup. For stubborn marks, use a mild leather cleaner.
- Maintenance: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the material from cracking or fading.
- Compatibility: These trainers feature a standard lace-up system, allowing you to adjust the tension to match your foot width for a personalized fit.
- Rotation: If you wear them daily, consider rotating them with another pair to allow the interior moisture to evaporate fully, which helps extend the life of the footbed.
