FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?
No, the Boss Saturn Core Leather Trainers are designed for casual, everyday urban wear and fashion purposes. While comfortable, they are not engineered for high-impact athletic activities like running or intensive sports.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Gently wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner according to its instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Can I wear these trainers in the rain?
While the leather can withstand light moisture, it's best to avoid heavy rain or prolonged exposure to wet conditions to prevent water damage and staining. Consider applying a leather protector spray for added resistance.
How do I maintain the sleek appearance of the trainers?
Regular cleaning, conditioning the leather, and proper storage (using shoe trees if possible) will help maintain their shape and prevent creasing. Protect them from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
What kind of socks should I wear with these trainers?
For optimal comfort and to maintain hygiene, it's recommended to wear breathable socks made from cotton or a performance blend. Ankle-length or no-show socks typically complement the low-profile design.
Is the sizing true to fit?
Boss trainers generally run true to size, but fit can vary slightly. We recommend referring to the official Boss size chart for the most accurate fit. If you are between sizes, consider trying the larger size for comfort.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too stiff or uncomfortable initially.
Leather trainers often require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations around the house initially, gradually increasing wear time. The premium leather will soften and mold to your feet over time.
Leather appears dull or dry.
Clean the trainers thoroughly, then apply a quality leather conditioner. This will rehydrate the leather, restore its luster, and help prevent cracking. Ensure the conditioner is suitable for your trainer's leather type.
Squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes be caused by friction between parts of the shoe or the insole. Try removing the insole, cleaning the area underneath, and reinserting it. A small amount of talcum powder beneath the insole can also help reduce friction. If the squeak persists, it might be due to the outsole, which generally requires professional attention.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions ### Setup 1. Lacing: Unlace the trainers sufficiently to comfortably slide your foot in. 2.

Double Knot: Secure the laces with a double knot to prevent them from coming undone during wear. ### Compatibility These trainers are compatible with a wide range of casual and smart-casual outfits, making them versatile for urban daily wear. They are best suited for dry conditions and moderate activity levels. ### Care 1. Regular Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth regularly to remove dust and dirt. For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner according to the product instructions. 2. Conditioning: Apply a high-quality leather conditioner every few months to keep the leather soft, prevent cracking, and maintain its luster. 3. Water Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to guard against water damage and stains, especially in unpredictable weather. 4. Drying: If the trainers get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can dry out and damage the leather. 5. Storage: When not in use, store your trainers in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag to protect them from dust and light. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape. 6. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can strip the natural oils from the leather and cause discoloration.
