FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
Buffalo London trainers are generally true to size. While they are made of genuine leather which will stretch and conform over time, individuals with particularly wide feet might find them snug initially. Trying them on is recommended for the best fit.
How durable is the platform sole?
The platform sole is designed to be durable for everyday wear. Its 'cloud style' is iconic and robust, though like any sole, it will show wear and tear over time depending on usage and walking surfaces. Proper care can extend its lifespan.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the genuine leather offers some natural water resistance, these trainers are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided to protect the leather. Consider using a leather protector spray for added resistance in damp conditions.
What is the recommended cleaning frequency?
For best maintenance, wipe down the trainers after each wear to remove surface dirt. A deeper clean with leather cleaner and conditioner can be done monthly or as needed, depending on how often they are worn and their exposure to dirt.
Is the 6 cm platform height comfortable for all-day wear?
The 6 cm platform provides a significant lift. Many users find them comfortable for extended periods once broken in, but individual comfort can vary. They are designed for style and urban wear rather than athletic activities requiring extensive movement.
Are these specific to female wearers?
While categorized as 'Female' in the attributes, fashion is often fluid. These trainers are popular across various gender identities for their bold, distinctive style and can be worn by anyone who appreciates their aesthetic.
Do these trainers run true to size?
Buffalo London trainers are generally considered to run true to size, matching standard UK footwear measurements. If you are typically between sizes, it is often recommended to size up for optimal comfort, especially with platform styles that might fit snugly.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dull or scuffed.
Clean the leather thoroughly with a soft, damp cloth. For scuffs, use a quality black leather polish or renovator to restore its luster. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
Platform sole looks dirty or discolored.
Clean the platform sole with a soft brush and a mild solution of soap and water. For tough stains, a gentle shoe cleaner designed for rubber soles can be effective. Avoid abrasive materials that could damage the 'cloud style' finish.
Trainers feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
Like many leather shoes, these trainers require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations around the house to allow the leather to soften and conform to your foot. Thicker socks can also help during this phase.

Setting up your Buffalo London Trainers simply involves lacing them up to your preferred comfort level. Due to their black leather construction, they are highly compatible with almost any wardrobe choice, particularly those in the street-style, grunge, or alternative fashion categories. They pair effortlessly with jeans, skirts, dresses, and cargo pants. For care, regularly wipe the genuine leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For more stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner, following the product's instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water. Condition the leather periodically to keep it supple and prevent cracking. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the leather and sole integrity. The platform sole can be cleaned with a mild soap and water solution using a soft brush.
