FAQs
Are these shoes water-resistant?
No, these are standard trainers. It is recommended to use a protective spray if you plan to wear them in damp conditions.
How do I determine if these are the right size?
The fit should be snug but not restrictive. You should be able to wiggle your toes, and your heel should not lift significantly when walking.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended, as washing machines can damage the glue holding the sole to the upper and ruin the suede texture.
What is the difference between the OTW Authentic 44 and the original?
The OTW series often features updated materials and slight refinements in comfort or build quality while retaining the heritage 70s look.
How often should I clean the soles?
Cleaning the edges of the soles with a damp cloth every few wears will keep them looking fresh and prevent dirt buildup.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too stiff upon arrival
Wear them indoors for a few hours with thicker socks to break in the canvas or leather materials gradually.
Visible scuffs on the beige suede
Use a dry suede eraser to gently rub the scuff mark in one direction until the nap of the suede is restored.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No complex setup is required. Ensure you verify your size (UK 7 in this instance) for a snug, secure fit. These shoes are true-to-size for most wearers.
Compatibility: These trainers are best matched with casual attire such as relaxed-fit jeans, cargo pants, or shorts. They are not recommended for formal events or high-intensity athletic activities like running.
Care:
- Suede Maintenance: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dust and dirt. Avoid water; instead, use a specialized suede eraser for stains.
- Leather Maintenance: Wipe clean with a damp, lint-free cloth and apply a leather conditioner periodically to prevent cracking.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material fading.
