Are these trainers suitable for all-day wear?
Yes, with their cushioned insole, padded collar, and durable rubber sole, the PS Paul Smith Lee Trainers are designed to provide enhanced comfort for extended daily wear.
How do I clean my leather trainers?
For routine cleaning, gently wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning or conditioning, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner, following the product's instructions. Avoid immersing them in water.
Can I wear these trainers for sports or running?
No, these trainers are designed for casual and smart-casual lifestyle wear, not for athletic activities, running, or high-impact sports. Their construction prioritizes style and everyday comfort over athletic performance.
What is the distinctive stripe on the heel?
The multicoloured stripe on the heel is the signature 'Sports Stripe' grosgrain heel pull, a distinctive design element characteristic of PS Paul Smith's playful yet sophisticated aesthetic.
Are these trainers true to size?
Based on general feedback for Paul Smith footwear, these trainers typically fit true to size. However, individual foot shapes can vary. If you are between sizes, consider trying both or consulting a size chart if available. Info needed: specific fit guidance.
How can I prevent creases in the leather?
To minimize creasing, always use shoe trees when you're not wearing your trainers. Additionally, consistent conditioning of the leather will keep it supple and less prone to creasing. Avoid bending the trainers excessively when putting them on or taking them off.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dull or dry.
Clean the trainers thoroughly with a damp cloth and then apply a high-quality leather conditioner. Gently buff with a soft cloth to restore shine and suppleness.
Trainers feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly. If they are new, leather trainers may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow the leather to mold to your foot. If discomfort persists, consider checking your size.
Visible scuffs or light scratches on the leather.
For minor scuffs, a soft cloth and a small amount of leather conditioner can often buff them out. For deeper scratches, a leather repair balm or professional leather care might be necessary. Act quickly after noticing marks.

Care
Proper care is crucial to maintain the premium look and feel of your leather trainers. Following these general guidelines will help prolong their lifespan:

- Protection: Apply a leather protector spray periodically to guard against water and stains. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Conditioning: Use a quality leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking. This also helps maintain its luxurious feel.
- Drying: If trainers get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources.
- Storage: Store trainers in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture. Keep them away from direct sunlight.
- Sole Care: Clean the rubber soles with a soft brush and mild soap solution as needed to maintain traction.
