FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

The coated leather offers moderate resistance to light moisture, but they are not fully waterproof or submersible.

How do I determine my size?

The VL Court 3.0 follows standard UK sizing. Use a Brannock device or measure your foot length to ensure a proper regular fit.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the leather and the adhesives. Always clean by hand with a soft cloth.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The shoes feature a regular fit; if you have particularly wide feet, you may find the leather upper slightly restrictive initially.

What is the best way to break them in?

Wear them for short periods indoors to allow the leather to soften and conform to your foot shape before wearing them for long days.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on the toe box

Use a shoe tree when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the leather structure and minimize deep creasing.

Laces coming untied frequently

Ensure you are using a double knot or checking that the laces are threaded correctly through all eyelets for maximum tension.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your VL Court 3.0 shoes maintain their condition, follow these care steps:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the coated leather upper with a soft, damp cloth after use to remove dirt or dust.
  2. Drying: Air dry the shoes naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp or crack the leather.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
  4. Compatibility: These shoes feature a regular fit. If you prefer to wear thicker socks, consider this when selecting your standard UK size.
