FAQs
What type of leather are the Oliver Sweeney Leon Trainers made from?
The main body of the trainers is made from soft tumbled white calf leather, with contrasting soft navy calf suede used for accents around the facings, mudguard, and heel counter.
Are these trainers suitable for athletic activity?
While designed for comfort, the Leon Trainers are primarily retro-style casual footwear and are not intended for rigorous athletic training or sports.
How should I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
Use a dedicated suede brush to clean suede. For stubborn marks, a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner can be used. Always test cleaning products on a small, hidden area first.
What is the sole made of and what is its finish?
The sole is made of natural gum rubber with a stippled finish, reminiscent of crepe, and features a classic retro tread pattern.
Do these trainers have good cushioning?
Yes, they include a deep cushioned leather insock and a full leather lining, providing enhanced comfort for everyday wear.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the leather can be treated with protector spray, the suede components are more susceptible to water damage and staining. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dry or creased
Apply a neutral or white leather conditioner specifically designed for calf leather. Gently buff after application. For creases, stuffing the shoes can help reduce their prominence over time.
Suede marks or stains
Use a suede eraser for light marks. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner may be required. Always test on an inconspicuous area first and follow product instructions carefully. Brush the suede after cleaning to restore texture.
Soles feel slippery initially
The natural gum rubber sole may have a slight slickness when new. Light wear on rough surfaces will typically abrade the sole and improve grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers require no setup as they are ready to wear out of the box. They are compatible with most casual legwear, including jeans, chinos, and shorts.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the leather with a slightly damp cloth. For suede areas, use a dedicated suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaking the trainers.
- Protection: Apply a suitable leather protector spray to guard against water and stains, especially for the suede components. Reapply periodically.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a dust bag to maintain their shape and prevent damage. Stuffing them with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain form.
