FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the Air Force 1 has a basketball heritage, it is designed for lifestyle and casual wear rather than long-distance running.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
These trainers generally fit true to size, but we recommend measuring your feet in the afternoon when they are at their largest.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the glue integrity. Always clean them by hand.
Does the leather stretch?
Leather will soften and conform slightly to your foot shape over time, but it does not stretch significantly like fabric trainers.
Are these shoes heavy?
They are sturdier and have more weight than modern lightweight synthetic trainers, which contributes to their durability.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the toe box
Creasing is natural for leather shoes; using shoe trees when not in use can help maintain the shape and reduce permanent depth of creases.
Dirty outsole or scuffs
Use a specialized sneaker cleaner or a mild soap solution with a toothbrush to gently scrub the rubber outsole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your trainers, follow these care steps:
- Initial Setup: Ensure you lace the shoes to a comfortable tightness that allows for natural foot flexion without restricting circulation.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush or a damp cloth with mild soap to spot-clean the leather. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to prevent leather fading and cracking.
- Compatibility: These trainers fit true to size. If you plan to wear thick winter socks, consider if your standard size provides enough room in the toe box.
