FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?
No, these trainers are designed for casual urban wear and light walking. They are not intended for high-impact sports or running due to their construction and materials.
How do I clean the nubuck and smooth leather parts?
Use a soft brush for dry dirt. For stains on nubuck, use a specialized nubuck eraser. For smooth leather, a damp cloth with mild soap works. Always allow to air dry and use a leather conditioner for maintenance.
Can I replace the insole with my own orthotics?
Yes, the insole is removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics for personalized support and comfort.
What is the 'Strobel construction'?
Strobel construction is a method where the upper is stitched directly to a fabric insole (the strobel board). This technique generally results in a more flexible and durable shoe.
How do I ensure the correct fit?
These trainers are designed for a normal fit. It's recommended to try them on for a short period. Ensure there is adequate space in the toe box and the heel does not slip excessively.
Are these waterproof?
The trainers are made of leather and are not explicitly waterproof. While they offer some resistance to light moisture, they are not designed for heavy rain or wet conditions.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
This is common with new 100% leather footwear. Wear them for short periods around the house to break them in. Consider using thicker socks initially if needed.
Laces are difficult to adjust or stay tied.
Ensure the laces are threaded through the D-rings correctly. If they consistently come undone, consider replacing them with waxed laces for better grip.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.
Ensure the outsole is clean from debris. If the issue persists on very smooth, wet surfaces, be extra cautious with your footing. The EVA/rubber blend is designed for general urban traction.
Leather appears dry or dull.
Apply a suitable leather conditioner to the upper. This will restore moisture and protect the leather.

Care:
