FAQs
Are these trainers true to size?
The Replica Trainers generally follow standard EU/UK sizing. If you have wider feet, you may consider trying a half-size up for a more comfortable fit.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No. Never submerge leather trainers in water or use a washing machine, as this will irreversibly damage the leather and the structure of the shoe.
What does the white stitch on the back signify?
The single white stitch on the heel is a signature aesthetic detail used by Maison Margiela to identify their products.
Is the leather water-resistant?
The leather is not waterproof. It is recommended to use a high-quality leather protectant spray to provide a basic layer of water repellency.
Are these suitable for long-distance walking?
While comfortable for casual city walking, they are designed as fashion footwear and lack the advanced technical cushioning found in dedicated long-distance running shoes.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the leather toe box
This is a natural occurrence with premium leather. Use cedar shoe trees when not wearing to help maintain the shape and reduce permanent creases.
Scuff marks on the surface
Gently buff the scuffed area with a clean, soft cloth and a small amount of leather cream matching the red color.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Maison Margiela Replica Trainers, it is essential to follow basic care guidelines.
- Storage: Always store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather fading.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away surface dust after every use. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft brush or cloth.
- Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner every few months to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
- Weather: Avoid wearing the trainers in heavy rain, as prolonged moisture exposure can damage the leather finish.
