FAQs

Are these shoes water-resistant?

While the sealed construction offers some protection, they are not waterproof and should be avoided in heavy rain.

Can I remove the insoles?

The Beetle series features specific construction; please check your individual pair, but it is generally recommended to keep the factory insoles for the best fit.

How do I choose the right size?

CAMPER sizes generally follow standard UK sizing; we recommend consulting the official size chart for the most accurate fit based on your measurements.

Is the leather upper easy to maintain?

Yes, black leather is forgiving and requires only occasional brushing and conditioning to stay looking like new.

Can I use these for sports?

No, these are fashion trainers meant for casual, everyday walking and not for high-impact sports.

What is the 'sealed construction' mentioned?

This is a proprietary CAMPER manufacturing technique that bonds the sole and upper for increased flexibility and reduced weight compared to traditional stitched shoes.

Troubleshooting

Leather looks dull after repeated wear

Apply a small amount of black leather polish or conditioner to restore the shine and moisture to the material.

Shoes feel tight after long days

The natural leather will stretch slightly over time; ensure you are wearing the correct thickness of socks to manage foot volume.

Outsole loses traction over time

Regularly wipe the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove grit and debris that may accumulate in the tread patterns.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely lightweight for all-day comfort
  • Highly flexible design adapts to natural movement
  • Durable leather material ages well
  • Excellent grip on urban surfaces due to non-slip outsoles
  • Minimalist aesthetic suitable for various casual settings

Cons

  • Not intended for heavy-duty outdoor hiking
  • Leather requires periodic care to maintain appearance
  • Limited to specific sizing ranges within the Beetle series

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these are slip-on or standard lace-up trainers depending on the specific model variation, no complex setup is required. For the best longevity, store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. To clean the leather upper, use a soft, dry cloth to remove surface dust. For deeper cleaning, apply a high-quality leather conditioner or cream suitable for black leather, testing on a small, inconspicuous area first. Avoid submerging the shoes in water, as this can degrade the sealed construction and internal materials.
