How do I clean the leather?

Troubleshooting

Laces constantly coming untied

Ensure you are using a double-knot or replacing the factory laces with a slightly more textured set if needed.

Creasing on the toe box

This is common with leather trainers; use shoe trees when not wearing them to help maintain the original shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers come with a standard lace-up setup. For optimal fit, loosen the laces before sliding your foot in and then adjust from the toe up. To keep them in prime condition: clean them by wiping the leather with a soft, damp cloth after each use to remove surface dirt. Avoid machine washing or submerging them in water, as this can degrade the leather and the adhesives. If the shoes get wet, air-dry them away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent cracking.
