FAQs

What is the best way to break in these leather trainers?

Wear them for short periods initially, around the house, to allow the leather to gradually conform to your foot shape. Avoid wearing them for extended periods until they feel comfortable and supple.

How should I clean the polished leather uppers?

Gently wipe the uppers with a soft, slightly damp cloth. For any persistent dirt or marks, use a specialized leather cleaner, applying it sparingly with a soft cloth and buffing gently.

Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?

While the leather offers some natural protection, they are not waterproof. We recommend avoiding prolonged exposure to heavy rain. Applying a waterproofing spray for leather can offer additional protection against light moisture and stains.

What does 'Italian-made rubber cup sole' mean for durability?

This indicates that the rubber sole is produced in Italy, known for quality manufacturing. A cup sole design typically wraps around the sides of the shoe, offering good durability, support, and traction for everyday use.

Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?

The description does not specify width fittings. Given the recommendation to size down if between sizes, they might fit a standard to slightly narrow foot best. Trying them on is recommended if possible.

How often should I use leather conditioner?

Use leather conditioner periodically, perhaps every few months depending on wear and climate, to maintain the leather's flexibility and prevent it from drying out or cracking. Always follow the specific product's instructions.

What is the benefit of pure leather linings?

Pure leather linings enhance breathability, helping to wick away moisture and keep your feet comfortable. They also provide a soft, smooth feel inside the shoe, reducing friction.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or slightly large.

If you are between sizes, we recommend going down one size. If you have already purchased and the fit is not ideal, consider using thinner socks for a tighter fit or thicker socks/insoles for a looser fit. Ensure you have tried them on at the end of the day when feet are typically larger.

Leather shows minor scuffs or scratches.

Small scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft cloth. For deeper scratches, use a matching color leather polish or cream and apply with a soft applicator, buffing gently.

Slight stiffness upon first wear.

This is normal for new leather shoes. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in and mold to your feet. Conditioning the leather as per care instructions can also help soften them.
