FAQs
How do I determine my correct size?
The sneakers use Italian sizing (It). It is recommended to consult a size chart or try them on if possible, as sizing can vary between brands. Refer to the product's specific size guide for accurate measurements.
Are these sneakers suitable for athletic activities?
While they offer comfort and cushioning, these are fashion sneakers designed for everyday wear, not high-performance athletic activities. Their oversized sole provides style and support for casual movement.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
The leather material is not fully waterproof. While a protectant spray can offer some resistance, it is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage.
What is the primary material used for the upper?
The upper is made from 100% calf leather, ensuring a premium look and feel.
How should I store these sneakers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and prevent creasing. Keep them away from direct sunlight and moisture.
Does the oversized sole add significant weight?
While the sole is larger, the overall weight is balanced for everyday wear. The design prioritizes aesthetic and comfort rather than extreme lightness.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise from the sole
This can sometimes occur with new rubber soles. Try walking on different surfaces or gently flexing the sole. In some cases, a small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help.
Leather creasing
Creasing is natural for leather. Ensure proper fit to minimize excessive creasing. Using shoe trees when not in use can help maintain shape.
Discoloration on leather
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals. Clean with a leather conditioner specifically designed for calf leather.
Laces becoming worn
Replace laces with a similar type to maintain the shoe's aesthetic. Ensure they are tied securely but not overly tight to avoid unnecessary stress on eyelets.
