FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, these are lifestyle trainers intended for casual wear and walking. They do not have the cushioning or support necessary for running.

Can I wash these in the washing machine?

It is not recommended. Washing leather shoes in a machine can damage the material and structural integrity of the sneaker. Hand cleaning is preferred.

Does the leather stretch over time?

Leather will naturally break in and conform to the shape of your foot, but it will not stretch excessively like synthetic fabrics.

What is the best way to store the trainers?

Store them in a well-ventilated area out of direct sunlight to prevent the leather from fading or becoming brittle.

Is the sole non-marking?

The rubber outsole is designed for street use and is durable, but always check local gym requirements if you plan to wear them indoors.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight during the first few wears

Adjust the lace tension to relieve pressure on the bridge of the foot; leather tends to naturally relax and conform to your foot shape after a short break-in period.

Surface scuffing on the leather

Gently buff the scuffed area with a soft leather-cleaning brush or a damp cloth with a mild leather cleaner.

Laces coming undone

Use a double knot or consider replacing the laces with textured flat laces if you prefer a more permanent hold.

Pros and Cons

  • High-quality leather construction for increased durability
  • Comfort-focused interior with soft textile lining

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For the best fit, ensure you select your standard UK size, as the lace-up closure provides significant flexibility to adjust for your preferred tightness. To maintain the leather upper, wipe down the shoes with a soft, dry cloth after use to remove dust. If the shoes become wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from cracking. To preserve the aesthetic, consider using a leather-safe conditioner periodically and store them in a cool, dry place when not in use.
