FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the FYW 98 is designed as a casual lifestyle trainer rather than a high-performance running shoe.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Use a soft brush to remove dust and a damp cloth with mild soap to wipe away dirt. Do not machine wash.
Do these trainers fit true to size?
They generally follow standard UK sizing, but keep in mind that leather may feel firmer than knit shoes initially.
Can the insoles be replaced?
Yes, you can replace the existing insoles with orthotics or aftermarket insoles if you require additional support.
Is the leather upper waterproof?
The leather is water-resistant to an extent, but it is not fully waterproof and should be treated with a protective spray if used in wet conditions.
Are these shoes appropriate for a professional setting?
With their bold, retro design, they are best suited for casual or creative work environments rather than formal dress codes.
Troubleshooting
Leather surface showing scuff marks
Gently buff the area with a leather-appropriate conditioner or matching polish to restore the finish.
Shoes feel tight after long wear
Leather can compress slightly over time. If they remain tight, ensure you are wearing appropriate socks and consider using a shoe stretcher overnight.
Laces becoming frayed
Standard flat or round replacement laces of the same length can be swapped easily to maintain the intended look.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers are crafted from leather, proper care is essential to extend their lifespan. Avoid submersing them in water. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove loose dirt and a damp, lint-free cloth with mild soap for deeper cleaning. Always air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the leather to crack or lose its shape. For sizing, these are standard UK adult sizes; ensure you have measured your foot correctly as leather typically has less stretch than textile shoes.
