FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing, though the leather construction may feel slightly snug initially before molding to your foot.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing can ruin the leather and compromise the adhesive on the rubber cupsole. Stick to hand cleaning with a damp cloth.
Are these suitable for walking long distances?
They are designed for comfort during daily wear, but if you plan on walking long distances, ensure you are wearing appropriate socks to prevent blisters.
What material is the lining?
The interior is lined with soft cotton to enhance breathability and comfort for your feet.
Is the branding subtle?
Yes, the branding features black logos on the side, tongue, and heel, providing a recognizable yet clean look that doesn't overpower the design.
Troubleshooting
Leather surface shows scuff marks
Use a specialized leather eraser or a damp cloth with a mild leather conditioner to buff out surface-level marks.
Insoles feel worn or flat
Because the insoles are removable, they can be easily replaced with third-party performance insoles to restore cushioning.
Stiff fit upon first wear
Leather shoes often require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations indoors to allow the leather to soften and mold to your foot shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers last, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. Use a leather-safe cleaner for stubborn scuffs.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather cracking or yellowing.
- Comfort: Since the insole is removable, you can swap it for custom orthotics if required.
- Protection: Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for leather to protect against dirt and light moisture.
