FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the Lopes Trainers are designed for lifestyle and fashion purposes, not for running or intense athletic activity.
How does nubuck differ from suede?
Nubuck is made from full-grain leather that has been buffed, resulting in a tougher and more durable material than the flesh-side finish found on suede.
Can I put these in a washing machine?
No, never machine wash leather trainers as the water and agitation will permanently damage the nubuck material and the structural adhesive.
How should I choose the right size?
These trainers are built on a broader last; however, they follow standard UK sizing, so we recommend selecting your usual shoe size.
Do I need to treat the leather before wearing?
It is highly recommended to apply a quality water and stain repellent spray suitable for nubuck before your first use.
Troubleshooting
Surface dirt on the nubuck.
Use a specialized nubuck brush to gently buff the area in a circular motion to lift stains.
Scuffing on the white rubber cupsole.
Use a damp cloth with a mild detergent to gently wipe the rubber sides.
Leather feeling stiff after storage.
Wear them for a short period indoors; the natural warmth of your feet will help the calf leather soften and reform.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the Lopes Trainers are made from soft calf nubuck, they should be treated with a protective spray before their first wear to guard against water and dirt. Avoid deep cleaning with harsh soaps; instead, use a dedicated nubuck brush to gently lift dirt and restore the matt finish. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the leather to stiffen or crack. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place using shoe trees to help them maintain their shape over time.
