FAQs

Are CAMPER Beetle trainers waterproof?

While the sealed construction provides protection, they are not classified as waterproof. It is recommended to apply a water-repellent spray designed for leather to improve resistance.

Do these shoes require breaking in?

Thanks to the flexible construction and leather upper, most users find they are comfortable immediately, though the leather will continue to soften and mold to your foot over time.

How do I determine my size?

CAMPER Beetle trainers generally fit true to standard UK sizes. If you are between sizes, consider your usual preference for casual footwear.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the insoles are designed to be removable, allowing you to replace them with custom orthotics if preferred.

What is the primary difference between leather and suede versions?

Leather versions are generally easier to wipe clean and maintain in wet weather, while suede versions offer a different texture and look that requires suede-specific cleaning brushes.

Troubleshooting

Leather looks dull or dry

Apply a high-quality leather conditioner or cream to restore moisture and shine.

Squeaking sound while walking

Check if the insole has shifted; remove and reseat it, or sprinkle a small amount of talcum powder beneath the insole.

Scuffs on the upper

Use a matching shoe polish or a leather cleaning wipe to buff out minor surface scuffs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your CAMPER Beetle trainers last, follow these care steps:

  1. Cleaning: Gently remove surface dirt with a soft, dry brush. For leather care, use a neutral shoe cream or a specialized leather conditioner to keep the material supple.
  2. Moisture: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators, as these can crack or shrink the leather.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Using a shoe tree can help the leather maintain its shape when not in use.
  4. Compatibility: These trainers fit true to standard UK sizing. They are best paired with casual trousers or denim for a refined, everyday look.
