FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?

How do I determine my size?

Can these be machine washed?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the structure of the shoe; please use manual cleaning methods only.
What materials are used in the construction?
The exterior is crafted from leather, paired with a cushioned insole and a durable rubber-style vintage outsole.
Are these trainers waterproof?
While the leather is naturally somewhat resistant to light moisture, they are not waterproof and should not be worn in heavy rain.
Do the insoles come out?
The trainers feature a comfort cushioned insole, though it is not specifically designed to be swapped for orthopedic inserts.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather toe box
Use a shoe tree when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the shape and smooth out minor creases.
Difficulty keeping white leather clean
Wipe the surface with a damp microfiber cloth immediately after outdoor use and apply a protective leather cream.
Shoes feeling too tight
Loosen the laces significantly to allow the leather to expand and accommodate your foot shape more comfortably.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure you select your standard UK adult size, as the lace-to-toe design allows for precision tightening across the midfoot. Since the primary material is leather, apply a leather-safe water repellent spray before first use to protect against minor liquid stains and damp conditions. To clean, use a damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt immediately after it accumulates. For stubborn stains on the leather, use a mild leather cleaner rather than abrasive detergents. Avoid submerging the trainers in water or using a washing machine, as this can degrade the leather and the adhesives holding the outsole.
