Product Information

Full details

The Jones Bootmaker Simon Leather Trainers are designed for the adult male seeking a comfortable and versatile lace-up sneaker that bridges the gap between formal and casual wear.

FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for formal occasions?

The Simon Leather Trainers are best described as smart-casual. While their polished leather makes them dressier than typical trainers, they are not suitable for black-tie or very formal events. They are ideal for business-casual settings.

How should I clean the polished leather?

Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dust and light dirt. For a deeper clean and to maintain the leather's condition, use a reputable leather conditioner or polish specifically designed for polished leather shoes.

What material is the sole made of?

The sole is made of rubber, specifically an Italian-made rubber cup sole, designed for durability and grip.

What is the best way to store these trainers?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape, and keeping them in a dust bag or their original box will protect the leather.

What is the fit like if I have wide feet?

The product description does not specify a wide fit. However, the lace-up design allows for some adjustability. If you are typically between sizes, the recommendation to go down a size should still be considered.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the leather can be treated to offer some water resistance, they are not waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. If they get wet, allow them to air dry naturally.

What is the main difference between this leather version and the suede versions?

The main difference lies in the material of the upper. The leather version offers a smoother, more polished finish suitable for dressier occasions, while suede versions have a softer, napped texture that is typically considered more casual.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels too large

If you are between sizes, it is recommended to go down one size. Consider purchasing a half or full size smaller than your usual size.

Leather shows creases or scuffs

Minor creases are normal for leather. For scuffs, use a matching colour shoe polish or a leather conditioner to buff them out. Address scuffs promptly.

Discomfort after initial wear

Leather footwear may require a short break-in period. Wear the trainers for short durations initially to allow them to mold to your feet. Ensure the laces are adjusted for a comfortable fit.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for adult males and are best suited for smart-casual and business-casual settings. They pair well with trousers, chinos, jeans, and tailored shorts.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe clean with a slightly damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For polished leather, a leather conditioner can be used periodically to maintain suppleness and shine. Avoid soaking the shoes in water.
  2. Drying: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or original box to protect the leather.
