FAQs
Are these sneakers suitable for all seasons?
These leather sneakers are generally suitable for spring, summer, and autumn. For heavy rain or snow, it is recommended to use more weather-appropriate footwear to protect the leather.
How do I determine the correct size?
This specific pair is a UK 7.5. We recommend referring to a standard UK shoe size chart. If you are between sizes, consider your usual preference for fit; leather can stretch slightly over time.
Can I machine wash these sneakers?
No, machine washing is not recommended. The leather and internal components can be damaged by water submersion and harsh detergents. Follow the manual cleaning instructions provided in the 'Care' section.
What kind of socks should I wear with these?
For optimal comfort and to maintain hygiene, wear appropriate socks. Low-cut or no-show socks work well for a minimalist look, while crew socks can complement certain casual outfits. Choose breathable materials to manage moisture.
How durable is the polyurethane midsole?
The 100% polyurethane midsole is chosen for its balance of durability, cushioning, and lightweight properties. With proper care and avoidance of extreme conditions, it is designed to provide long-lasting support.
Can I use any leather cleaner on these sneakers?
While many leather cleaners exist, it's best to use products specifically designed for bovine leather (split leather with transfer coating) and to spot-test in an inconspicuous area first to ensure no discoloration or damage occurs. Avoid harsh chemical solvents.
Is the logo on the heel easily damaged?
The allover logo insert on the heel is part of the sneaker's design. While durable for normal wear, avoid scuffing or abrasive contact with this area to preserve its appearance.
Troubleshooting
Scuffs or minor scratches on the leather surface
Gently clean the affected area with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper scuffs, apply a small amount of leather conditioner or a specialized leather repair cream, then buff gently with a clean cloth. For white areas, a white shoe cream can help.
Sneakers feel stiff or uncomfortable initially
Like most quality leather footwear, these sneakers may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations at first, gradually increasing wear time. Leather conditioners can also help soften the material.
Unpleasant odor develops inside the shoe
Remove the insoles if possible and allow them to air out. Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes and let it sit overnight, then shake it out. Consider using shoe deodorizers or cedar shoe trees to absorb moisture and odor.
White areas of the shoe appear discolored or dirty
Use a specialized white shoe cleaner or a mixture of baking soda and mild detergent with a soft brush to gently scrub the white leather and midsole areas. Wipe clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.
Slippage or lack of grip on smooth surfaces
The polyurethane outsole provides good grip for general urban wear. However, on highly polished or wet surfaces, exercise caution. Ensure the outsoles are clean and free of debris, as accumulation can reduce traction.
