FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The Vivienne Westwood Drunken trainers generally follow standard UK sizing; however, the asymmetrical upper may feel snugger than traditional trainers.
Can I use standard shoe polish on these?
It is not recommended to use heavy pigmented polishes as the leather features a distressed finish; use a neutral leather cream instead.
Is the leather waterproof?
The leather is not waterproof. It is advised to avoid wearing them in heavy rain to protect the integrity of the material.
Why is the lacing off-center?
The off-center lacing is part of the brand's 'Drunken' system, designed to create a unique, deconstructed visual profile.
Can I replace the insoles?
The insoles are integrated into the padded construction; removing them may compromise the comfort and fit of the shoe.
Are these suitable for sports?
While inspired by vintage sports shoes, these are designed as lifestyle fashion trainers and are not recommended for high-impact athletic activities.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty achieving a tight fit
Adjust the lace tension starting from the bottom-most eyelet working upward to accommodate the asymmetric design.
Leather showing excessive scuffs
Use a neutral leather conditioner designed for distressed finishes to replenish moisture without removing the intended character of the leather.
Squeaking on smooth surfaces
Clean the bottom of the rubber soles with a damp cloth to remove any debris or polished floor residues that may cause noise.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the initial setup, loosen the laces significantly before inserting your foot, as the off-center construction may feel snug at the collar. To maintain the appearance of the distressed leather, use a soft, dry cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid soaking the leather, and if the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, which can cause the leather to crack. Store them in a cool, dry place, preferably with cedar shoe trees to help maintain the structure of the padded upper.
