FAQs

Are these shoes water-resistant?

While the leather upper provides some natural protection against light splashes, it is not fully waterproof.

Do these trainers fit true to size?

Yes, they are designed with a regular fit; most users find their standard sneaker size is appropriate.

Can I use these for running?

No, these are fashion trainers and do not contain the cushioning or support needed for running.

How do I keep the rubber outsole clean?

Wipe the rubber edges with a magic eraser or a damp cloth with mild soap to remove scuffs and dirt.

Is the insole removable?

Yes, the insole can be removed if you need to insert your own orthotics for better arch support.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The regular fit accommodates most feet, but those with very wide feet may find the narrow T-toe aesthetic slightly restrictive.

Troubleshooting

Creasing in the leather toe box

Use shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help maintain shape and minimize deep creases.

Leather becoming scuffed

Use a matching black leather cream or polish to touch up scuffs and restore the original color.

Slippage at the heel

Ensure laces are tightened correctly using the top eyelets, or consider using a thin heel insert.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your shoes last, follow these care steps:

  1. Break-in Period: Wear them for short durations initially to allow the leather to naturally conform to your foot shape.
  2. Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and a damp cloth with mild leather cleaner to wipe away stains.
  3. Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner every few months to prevent the material from cracking or drying out.
  4. Storage: Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and use shoe trees to maintain the shoe shape when not in use.
  5. Compatibility: These trainers pair perfectly with denim, chinos, or casual trousers, making them highly compatible with most modern men's wardrobes.
