FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
The Aranjuez trainers feature a minimalist sole and a square toe, designed to respect foot anatomy. While they offer a free stride, individuals with very wide feet may find them more comfortable if they fit within standard sizing. The lace-up design allows for some adjustment.
Can I wear these shoes without socks?
Yes, the textile lining and removable insole are designed for comfort, making them suitable for wear with or without socks. The removable insole also aids in hygiene if worn sockless.
How do I clean the leather exterior?
Use a soft, dry cloth for regular dusting. For stains or dirt, use a slightly damp cloth or a specialized leather cleaner. Always follow up with a leather conditioner to maintain the leather's suppleness.
What is the 'Natural Walk barefoot technology'?
This technology focuses on creating a shoe that mimics the natural movement of the foot. It promotes a flatter, more conscious gait by respecting the foot's anatomy and encouraging a natural stride, often with a minimalist sole and flexible construction.
Is the insole waterproof?
The insole is made of Memory Foam and is designed for comfort and support. It is not waterproof. It should be kept dry and aired out regularly.
What is the heel height of these trainers?
The Aranjuez trainers have a flat heel height, consistent with their minimalist and natural stride design.
How should I store these trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree or placing them in their original box can help maintain their shape and protect the leather.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dry or stiff
Apply a quality leather conditioner to the entire leather surface and allow it to absorb. Repeat if necessary.
Insole feels uncomfortable or lacks support
Ensure the insole is correctly positioned. If you require additional support, replace the original insole with your preferred custom orthotic.
Laces fraying or becoming difficult to tie
Replace the laces with new ones of a similar length and material. Consider wax-coated laces for a more secure tie.
Slight squeaking sound from the sole
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try walking on different surfaces or apply a small amount of talcum powder under the insole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: The Aranjuez trainers require no assembly. Simply untie the laces to loosen the fit, insert your foot, and re-lace to your desired comfort level. If using custom orthotics, remove the existing padded insole before inserting your own.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for unisex adult wear. They are compatible with custom orthotics and insoles up to the size of the original insole.
Care:
- Leather: Clean the cowhide leather regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth or a specialized leather cleaner. Avoid excessive moisture. After cleaning, apply a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent drying or cracking.
- Insole: The removable insole can be taken out and aired regularly for hygiene. If it requires cleaning, use a damp cloth and allow it to air dry completely before reinserting.
- Sole: Wipe the synthetic sole with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the material.
- Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, preferably in a shoe bag or their original box to maintain their shape and protect the leather.
