FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for sports activities?
The Paul Smith Lee Trainers are designed for style and comfort in casual and smart-casual settings. They are not engineered for high-impact sports or athletic performance and may lack the necessary support and cushioning for such activities.
How do I determine the correct UK size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by the retailer or Paul Smith's official sizing guide. Generally, UK sizing for men's footwear is standard. If you are between sizes, consider the width of your foot; these trainers offer a standard fit.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the premium leather can withstand light moisture, it is not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain can damage the leather. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in very wet conditions and to treat them with a waterproofing spray specifically designed for leather if necessary.
What is the return policy for these trainers?
Return policies vary by retailer. Please check the specific terms and conditions of the store where you purchased the trainers. Typically, items must be in unworn, original condition with all packaging intact for a successful return or exchange.
How should I store these trainers when not in use?
Store the trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. It is recommended to keep them in their original box or a dust bag to protect the leather and maintain their shape. Shoe trees can also be used to preserve the form.
What differentiates the 'Lee' model from other Paul Smith trainers?
The 'Lee' model is characterized by its minimalist, refined court-style silhouette. It emphasizes clean lines, premium materials like smooth leather, and subtle branding, offering a sophisticated take on a classic sneaker design.
Troubleshooting
Leather scuff marks appear.
Gently buff out minor scuffs with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, use a matching color leather cream or consult a professional shoe repair service.
Soles are dirty or stained.
Clean the rubber sole with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. For stubborn stains, a magic eraser can be used carefully, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Shoes feel too stiff initially.
Wear the shoes around the house for short periods to allow them to mold to your feet. The premium leather will soften with wear. Using a leather conditioner can also help speed up the break-in process.
Laces are worn or damaged.
Replace laces with a similar style and length. Paul Smith branded laces can be sourced, or standard flat laces in a matching or contrasting color can be used.
