FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to standard UK sizing, but keep in mind that the leather will provide a bit of 'give' after a few wears.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing can ruin the leather and damage the signature distressed finish of the Prsx series.
What should I do if I get the suede or leather wet?
Pat them dry with a clean, absorbent towel immediately and let them air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators.
Can I replace the laces with a different color?
Yes, the eyelets are standard size, allowing you to customize your look with different lace styles or colors.
Is the distressed look on the sole a defect?
No, the worn-in finish is a deliberate design choice characteristic of the Philippe Model Prsx series to provide a vintage aesthetic.
How often should I clean the leather?
It is recommended to wipe down the exterior after heavy use or exposure to dirt to prevent grime from setting into the grain of the leather.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff after initial wear
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner to soften the fibers and wear them indoors for short periods to break them in gradually.
Insole slides or bunches up during walking
Remove the insole, ensure the interior floor of the shoe is clean and debris-free, then reposition the insole firmly into the heel area.
Scuffs on the rubber sole
Use a white eraser or a specialized sneaker cleaning wipe to gently buff away black scuff marks from the rubber sidewalls.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Prsx Basic Trainers remain in prime condition, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: Ensure you are wearing the appropriate socks for your typical activity level to gauge the correct fit before wearing them outdoors.
- Cleaning: Use a dry, soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust. For stubborn marks on the leather, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap, avoiding harsh chemicals that might strip the intentionally distressed finish.
- Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner every few months to prevent the material from cracking, being careful to avoid the distressed sections if possible.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather fading. Use shoe trees to maintain the shape of the toe box when not in use.
- Insoles: If you choose to swap the removable insole, ensure the new orthotic fits correctly to prevent pressure points inside the shoe.
