FAQs

How do I convert Italian sizing to UK sizing?

Italian sizing typically runs smaller than UK sizing. As a general guideline, subtract 1.5 to 2 sizes from the Italian size to get the approximate UK size (e.g., Italian 42 is roughly UK 10-10.5). Always consult the specific Dolce & Gabbana size chart for the most accurate conversion.

Are these trainers suitable for sports?

These Portofino trainers are designed for fashion and everyday comfort, not for high-impact sports. They feature a leather footbed and TPU outsole suitable for walking and casual wear.

How should I clean the white calfskin?

Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For more persistent stains, use a specialized white leather cleaner. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the TPU outsole offers some protection, calfskin leather is not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage to the leather.

What is the material of the sole?

The sole is made of TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane), which is known for its durability and grip.

Do these trainers come in other colors?

The Portofino series is available in various colorways. This specific guide focuses on the white with black details model, but other options may exist.

How do I maintain the shoe's shape when not in use?

It is recommended to use shoe trees made of cedarwood or a similar material to absorb moisture and maintain the shoe's original shape.

Troubleshooting

Sizing seems incorrect

Verify the Italian size conversion. Refer to the brand's size chart for accurate measurements.

Leather appears creased or scuffed

Use a leather conditioner to help minimize creases and a leather repair balm for minor scuffs. For significant damage, consult a professional cobbler.

Sole feels slippery

Ensure the sole is clean and free from debris. The TPU material provides grip, but a brand-new sole might have a protective coating that wears off with use.

Color transfer from black details

This is rare but can occur with new items. Ensure the shoes are kept dry. If transfer occurs, try cleaning the affected area with a leather cleaner suitable for white leather.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid excessive water. For stubborn marks on calfskin, use a specialized leather cleaner.
  2. Suede Inserts: If your model includes suede, use a soft brush to remove dirt and a suede protector spray for maintenance.
  3. Lining: The leather footbed can be wiped gently with a dry or slightly damp cloth.
  4. Sole: Clean the TPU outsole with a damp cloth.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to maintain shape. Avoid storing in plastic bags as this can prevent the leather from breathing.
