FAQs
What does 'G-wide fit' mean?
A 'G-wide fit' indicates that the shoe offers a slightly wider fit than standard, providing more room and comfort for your foot, particularly beneficial for all-day wear or those with broader feet.
Are these trainers suitable for all weather conditions?
While the leather upper offers some natural protection, these trainers are not waterproof. We recommend applying a suitable water and stain protector spray for nubuck leather to enhance their resistance to moisture and stains, especially in wet conditions.
How do I clean the nubuck leather upper?
Use a soft nubuck brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, gently use a nubuck cleaning block or a specialized nubuck cleaner according to the product instructions. Always avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.
Can I replace the laces?
Yes, the laces are standard and can be replaced with new ones of a similar length and style if desired.
Is the footbed removable?
Info needed: Please check the product specifications or consult customer support regarding the removability of the footbed. Some Josef Seibel models feature removable footbeds for custom orthotics, while others do not.
Are these shoes good for long walks or standing all day?
Absolutely. The Claire 03 trainers are designed with a G-wide fit, ample internal cushioning, and a supportive sole, making them highly comfortable and suitable for extended periods of walking or standing.
Troubleshooting
My new trainers feel a bit stiff or tight.
Leather shoes often require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations (1-2 hours) over a few days to allow the leather to soften and mold to your foot shape. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly.
I've noticed scuffs or marks on the nubuck leather.
Gently use a specialized nubuck brush to remove surface marks. For more stubborn scuffs, a nubuck cleaning block or eraser can be effective. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
The white sole is getting dirty and discolored.
Clean the sole using a damp cloth with a mild soap solution. For tougher stains, a magic eraser or specialized shoe sole cleaner can be used. Avoid getting cleaning agents on the leather upper.

Product Care & Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Josef Seibel Claire 03 trainers, follow these care instructions:
- Cleaning Nubuck Leather: Use a specialized nubuck brush to gently remove dust and dirt. For tougher marks, a nubuck cleaning block or eraser can be used. Always brush in one direction.
- Protection: Apply a suitable water and stain protector spray designed for nubuck leather before first wear and periodically thereafter, especially in damp conditions.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor liquid spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid rubbing, as this can spread the stain.
- Drying: If wet, allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage the leather.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can strip the leather's natural oils and cause discoloration.
