Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup
- Lacing: Upon receiving your trainers, thread the laces through all eyelets. Ensure the lacing is even and not too tight, allowing your foot to settle comfortably.
- First Wear: Wear your trainers for short periods initially to allow the leather to break in and mold to your foot's shape.
Compatibility
These trainers are highly versatile and complement a wide range of casual and smart-casual outfits. They pair well with:
- Jeans and Chinos
- Shorts (for a sporty-casual look)
- Casual trousers
- Many casual shirts, polos, and sweaters
Product Care
Maintaining your leather trainers is crucial for their longevity and appearance:
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth after each wear to remove dust and dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner.
- Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner every few weeks or months, depending on wear, to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking.
- Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains, especially before first wear.
- Sole Care: Clean the rubber sole with a brush and mild soap to remove dirt and maintain traction.
- Drying: If wet, stuff the trainers with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain shape. Air dry them away from direct heat or sunlight, as this can damage the leather.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
