FAQs
Are these trainers true to size?
The Train 89 generally fits true to standard UK sizing. If you have particularly wide feet, you may consider a half-size up for extra comfort.
Can I wash these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as the agitation and water can ruin the leather and weaken the adhesive components.
What is the material of the sole?
The sole consists of an EVA midsole for cushioning and a durable, textured rubber outsole for traction.
Does the sneaker provide arch support?
The shoe includes a padded mesh insole that offers basic arch support, suitable for daily walking and light activity.
How do I protect the white leather from yellowing?
Keep the shoes away from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and high heat sources, which are the primary causes of leather yellowing.
What does the TPU heel insert do?
The TPU heel insert adds structural reinforcement to the back of the shoe, ensuring your heel stays aligned and stable while walking.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather toe area
Use cedar shoe trees after every wear to help the leather recover its shape and reduce deep creases.
Scuff marks on the white leather
Use a specialized leather cleaner and a soft-bristled brush to gently buff out surface scuffs.
Sole losing traction
Clean the textured rubber outsole with a damp brush to remove grit or debris that may interfere with grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before your first wear, apply a leather-safe water and stain repellent spray to protect the surface, especially given the white finish. To keep these trainers in peak condition, wipe the leather parts with a soft, damp cloth after use to remove surface debris. Avoid machine washing or submerging the trainers in water, as this can damage the glue and leather texture. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the leather to dry out or the white material to discolour over time. Use a shoe tree if not wearing them for long periods to help the shoes retain their shape.
