FAQs

Are these sneakers true to size?

The sizing is generally considered standard for the brand. It is recommended to consult the brand's specific size chart or try them on if possible, especially considering the unisex fit.

How do I clean the white leather?

Use a soft, damp cloth for regular cleaning. For tougher stains, a dedicated leather cleaner designed for white leather should be used sparingly, following the product's instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

What material is the sole made of?

The sole is made of oversized rubber, featuring a signature stamp design.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the leather is treated, it is not fully waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing these sneakers in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve the leather's condition and prevent water damage.

What is included with the sneakers?

The sneakers come with one pair of large flat bi-color laces, and an additional set of shoelaces is also included.

How should I store these sneakers?

Store them in their original box or a dust bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain their shape and prevent discoloration.

What is the main distinguishing feature of these sneakers?

The most distinguishing feature is their oversized rubber sole, combined with premium calfskin leather and signature Alexander McQueen branding.

Troubleshooting

Scuff marks on the sole or leather

Gently clean scuff marks with a soft cloth and a small amount of mild soap or leather cleaner. For tougher marks, a magic eraser can be used very cautiously on the rubber sole only.

Laces become worn or dirty

Use the additional set of laces provided. If the original laces need cleaning, remove them and hand wash with mild soap and water, then air dry completely before re-lacing.

Discomfort during initial wear

Leather shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the lacing is adjusted for a snug but not tight fit.

Yellowing of the white rubber sole

Yellowing can occur over time. Try cleaning the sole with a specialized sole cleaner or a paste of baking soda and water, applied with a soft brush. Rinse thoroughly and air dry.
