FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to standard UK sizing for adult men.
Can I use these for basketball?
While the design originated as a basketball shoe, modern technology has moved toward lighter, more breathable materials; they are better suited for casual lifestyle use.
How do I clean the white parts of the shoe?
Use a gentle soap solution or a dedicated sneaker cleaner with a soft-bristled brush to spot-clean the white areas.
Are these shoes waterproof?
They are made of leather, which provides some resistance to light moisture, but they are not fully waterproof or submersible.
What is the best way to store them?
Store them in a cool, ventilated area using shoe trees to maintain the structure of the leather.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather toe box
This is normal for leather shoes; use a shoe tree when not wearing them to help the shoe maintain its shape.
Stiff fit during first wear
Wear the shoes for short durations inside the home to allow the leather to naturally mold to your foot shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
When purchasing the Air Force 1, ensure you confirm your size for the UK fit to avoid early discomfort. To care for your trainers, wipe down the leather surface with a damp cloth after exposure to mud or dirt. Avoid machine washing, as this can degrade the leather and the integrity of the adhesive. For deep cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner and a soft brush. Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prevent the leather from cracking or the colors from fading.
