FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Generally, the Jack Purcell series fits true to standard sneaker sizing, but those who prefer a roomier fit might consider sizing up slightly.
Are these suitable for running?
No, these are fashion sneakers designed for casual wear and lack the cushioning and arch support required for running.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Wipe with a soft, dry cloth to remove loose dirt. Use a leather-specific cleaner or conditioner for deeper cleaning and maintenance.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, you can replace the existing insoles with orthotics or aftermarket comfort inserts if you require additional arch support.
Is the leather water-resistant?
While leather provides more protection than canvas, it is not waterproof. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain to prevent damage.
Troubleshooting
Leather looks scuffed
Use a matching leather polish or a neutral leather cream to buff out minor surface scuffs and restore the shine.
Rubber toe cap has become discolored
Use a small amount of mild detergent on a soft-bristled brush to gently scrub the rubber, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are low-top leather shoes, they are ready to wear immediately upon arrival. To ensure longevity, use a leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. Avoid soaking the leather in water; instead, spot-clean the upper with a soft cloth and specialized leather cleaner. The rubber outsole can be wiped down with a damp cloth or a mild soap solution to keep the signature SMILE toe cap looking pristine. When not in use, store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from fading or drying out.
