- Jeans and shorts

- Chinos and casual trousers
- Hoodies, t-shirts, and casual button-downs
Care & Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and preserve the look of your leather trainers. Follow these guidelines:
- Cleaning: For general dirt and dust, wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner applied sparingly with a soft brush or cloth. Gently scrub, then wipe clean with a separate damp cloth. Allow to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
- Perforated Toe Care: Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) to gently remove any debris from the perforations, ensuring continued breathability.
- Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner every few months to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. Follow the product instructions for application.
- Odor Control: Remove insoles periodically to air out. You can also use shoe deodorizers to keep them fresh.
- Storage: Store trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
- Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry your trainers, as this can damage the leather and structural integrity. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners.
