FAQs
Are these trainers true to size?
The Popham Lite series generally fits true to size, though the premium leather construction may feel snug initially before molding to your foot.
Can I wear these in the rain?
While the leather is durable, the suede panels are susceptible to water damage and staining. It is recommended to avoid heavy rain or to use a high-quality water-repellent spray.
How should I clean the white soles?
Use a mild soap solution and a soft cloth or brush to scrub the midsole, taking care not to get the suede or leather upper wet.
Are the insoles removable?
The trainers feature a premium lining and insock; while they are designed for optimal comfort, they are generally fixed.
What is the best way to lace these trainers?
The trainers come with flat waxed cotton laces; keeping them tied neatly ensures the gloss black lace ends remain protected from scratching.
Do these shoes provide arch support?
The Popham Lite offers standard arch support suitable for casual daily wear, though they are not marketed as performance athletic shoes.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on leather upper
Use a cedar shoe tree when not wearing to help the leather maintain its shape and absorb excess moisture.
Gloss black hardware losing shine
Gently buff the lace ends and TPU clip with a microfiber cloth to remove oils and restore the finish.
Suede becoming matted or dirty
Use a dedicated suede eraser and a soft-bristled brush to gently buff the suede in one direction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Popham Lite trainers maintain their appearance, use a specialized leather protector spray before your first wear, keeping the application away from the suede panels. For routine cleaning, wipe the smooth leather sections with a soft, damp cloth. Use a dry suede brush to lift any dirt or debris from the suede heel and side quarters. Avoid submerging the trainers in water or using harsh industrial cleaners on the gloss TPU components, as this can degrade the finish. Always store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the black leather from fading over time.
