FAQs
What material are these shoes made of?
These shoes are made primarily from leather, featuring a durable rubber outsole.
Are these shoes suitable for sports?
These are casual trainers designed for everyday wear and light activities. They are not intended for intense athletic performance.
How do I know if I have the right size?
It is recommended to check the adidas sizing chart. If possible, try them on in-store as fit can vary. They are listed in UK adult sizes.
Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather and construction of the shoe.
What does 'Low Shoes' mean in the product title?
'Low Shoes' refers to the cut of the shoe, indicating that it sits below the ankle, as opposed to boots or high-top sneakers.
How do I maintain the appearance of the leather?
Regularly wipe with a damp cloth and use a leather conditioner occasionally to keep the material in good condition.
What is the purpose of the perforations?
The perforations are small holes in the material designed to improve airflow and ventilation, helping to keep your feet cooler.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear them for short periods initially to allow the leather to break in and mold to your foot. You can also try loosening the laces.
Squeaking noise when walking
This can sometimes occur with new leather shoes. Ensure laces are tied correctly. If the noise persists, check for any loose insoles or try a small amount of talcum powder under the insole.
Stains on the leather
Use a dedicated leather cleaner and a soft cloth to gently remove stains. Test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
Tread showing wear
The rubber outsole is designed for durability, but heavy use will eventually cause wear. For significant wear affecting grip, consult a professional shoe repair service.

Compatibility: Designed for adult use, these trainers are compatible with a wide range of casual apparel. They pair well with jeans, shorts, track pants, and casual skirts or dresses.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild leather cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators, as this can damage the leather.

- Maintenance: Consider using a leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
