FAQs

What does 'LWG-certified' mean for the leather?

LWG certification stands for Leather Working Group. It signifies that the leather used has been produced in a tannery that adheres to environmental best practices, focusing on responsible water use, energy consumption, and waste management.

Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?

The description mentions a 'comfort fit silhouette' and 'relaxed silhouette,' which generally suggests they accommodate a standard to slightly wider foot. However, individual fit can vary. Trying them on is recommended if possible.

How often should I condition the leather?

It's recommended to condition the leather every 3-6 months, depending on wear and environmental conditions. More frequent conditioning may be necessary if the trainers are worn often or exposed to dry climates.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the leather can be treated for water resistance, these trainers are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry to mildly damp conditions. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.

What is the best way to clean mud off the trainers?

Allow mud to dry first, then gently brush it off with a soft brush. For any remaining dirt, use a damp cloth or a specialized leather cleaner, following up with conditioning.

Do these trainers offer arch support?

The description focuses on comfort and fit rather than specific arch support features. They provide a comfortable base, but individuals requiring significant arch support may need to consider adding insoles.

What is the warranty period for these trainers?

Product warranty information is typically provided by the retailer or manufacturer at the point of sale or on their official website. Please refer to your purchase details for specific warranty terms.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels tight

Leather trainers often require a break-in period. Wear them around the house for short periods to allow them to mold to your feet. If they remain uncomfortable after a week, consider if a different size is needed.

Leather appears dry or dull

Apply a suitable leather conditioner and buff gently. Ensure you are using the correct care products for leather footwear.

Scuff marks on the leather

For minor scuffs, a good quality black shoe polish or cream can often conceal them. Apply the polish with a soft cloth and buff to a shine.

Water spots or staining

Address spills immediately by blotting with a clean cloth. Once dry, use a leather cleaner and conditioner. Applying a water repellent spray regularly can help prevent future water damage.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for black leather.
