FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for walking long distances?

Yes, the Vibram outsole and reinforced structure make them suitable for extensive daily walking and urban commuting.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, you should never machine wash these trainers, as the leather and vulcanized sole may be damaged by water submersion and agitation.

How do I ensure I have the right fit?

The Authentic 44 series generally fits true-to-size according to standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to measure your foot and refer to the size guide for accuracy.

Is the leather water-resistant?

While the leather is more protective than canvas, it is not waterproof. Avoid heavy exposure to water to preserve the finish.

What is the purpose of the high foxing tape?

The high foxing tape adds extra durability to the side of the shoe and creates a stronger bond between the upper and the outsole.

Troubleshooting

Leather surface shows water spots

Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid heat sources like radiators, then buff lightly with a dry cloth.

Outsole loses grip

Check the micro-siped tread for debris or small stones caught in the grooves; use a soft brush to clear any obstructions.

Creasing in the leather

Use a shoe tree when not in use to help maintain the shape and minimize deep creasing in the leather upper.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these trainers are made from premium leather, proper care is essential to maintain their finish and performance.

  1. Cleaning: Wipe away surface dirt with a soft, dry cloth after each wear. For deeper cleans, use a dedicated leather cleaner or a slightly damp cloth with mild soap, ensuring you wipe away residue immediately.
  2. Conditioning: Use a leather conditioner periodically to prevent the material from drying out or cracking.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme heat sources, which can warp the leather and affect the vulcanized rubber.
  4. Compatibility: These shoes are true-to-size for standard UK sizing; ensure you wear appropriate socks to balance the structure of the leather upper.
