FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing. If you are between sizes, consider trying them on with the type of socks you intend to wear.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing will damage the calf leather and the integrity of the adhesive on the oversized sole.
How do I remove salt stains from the winter?
Use a mixture of water and a small amount of white vinegar on a soft cloth to gently wipe the affected area, then immediately dry with a clean cloth.
Does the black counter detailing fade?
With proper care and by avoiding abrasive surfaces, the contrast detailing is designed to last the life of the shoe.
Are these suitable for heavy rain?
While the leather is durable, it is not waterproof. We recommend using a leather-safe water repellent spray to protect against light moisture.
Troubleshooting
Laces becoming undone frequently
The flat nature of the laces requires a secure double knot to ensure they remain tied during regular movement.
Creasing on the toe box
Natural creasing is expected with high-quality leather. Use shoe trees when not in use to help the leather maintain its shape.
Scuff marks on the rubber sole
Most rubber scuffs can be removed using a standard white pencil eraser or a damp magic sponge for more stubborn marks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your trainers in top condition, follow these care steps:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. Use a specialized leather cleaner for stubborn marks, but avoid harsh chemicals that may strip the finish.
- Sole Maintenance: The rubber sole can be cleaned using a soft brush and mild soapy water to remove scuffs or dirt.
- Storage: Always store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather cracking or discolouration.
- Lace Care: The signature flat laces can be removed and hand-washed with mild detergent if they become soiled.
- Fit: These trainers are designed for standard adult sizing. Ensure you check your UK size preference before purchasing, as leather does not stretch significantly over time.
