FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they follow standard sizing conventions, but as with all premium leather footwear, they may feel snug initially before molding to your foot.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, you should never machine wash leather trainers as it can ruin the material and compromise the structural integrity of the shoe.
What should I do if the leather gets scuffed?
Use a black leather-specific polish or a touch-up pen designed for black leather to cover scuffs and buff to match the original sheen.
Are these suitable for athletic performance?
While they are comfortable for walking, these are designed as lifestyle fashion trainers and are not intended for high-intensity sports or gym training.
Does the black color fade?
High-quality leather can show signs of wear over time. Using leather conditioners regularly will help maintain the depth and richness of the black pigment.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather upper
Use cedar shoe trees when not wearing to help the leather retain its shape and absorb excess moisture.
Dirt buildup on the sole edge
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning solution and a soft-bristled brush to gently scrub the edges, then wipe clean with a microfiber cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers are designed for a standard fit, so it is recommended to select your usual shoe size. To maintain the appearance of the black leather, use a high-quality leather cream or polish to keep the material supple and prevent drying or cracking. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, which can damage the leather. For daily upkeep, a soft brush or a damp cloth is sufficient to remove surface dust or dirt. Always ensure the laces are loosened before putting the shoes on to protect the integrity of the heel counter.
