FAQs

What material are these trainers made from?

The trainers feature an upper made from 100% calf leather and a sole made from 100% rubber.

Are these trainers suitable for formal occasions?

While primarily designed for casual wear, their sophisticated design and premium materials can complement smart-casual outfits, but they are not intended for highly formal events.

How do I determine my correct UK size?

Refer to the size chart provided by the retailer or Dolce & Gabbana. Generally, UK sizing for men's footwear follows standard measurements. The available size is UK 8.

Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?

The leather upper offers some protection, but they are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain and to dry them thoroughly if they become wet.

What is the significance of the printed logo on the back?

The printed logo on the back is a key design element of the Portofino line, signifying the brand's identity and adding a distinctive visual detail to the trainers.

How should I care for the contrasting black details?

Treat the black details like the main leather. Wipe with a damp cloth and use appropriate leather cleaners. Avoid excessive rubbing which could transfer color.

Where are these trainers manufactured?

These Dolce & Gabbana trainers are made in Italy, reflecting the brand's commitment to high-quality craftsmanship.

Troubleshooting

Leather creasing significantly

Natural creasing is expected with leather. To minimize excessive creasing, ensure proper fit and use shoe trees when not in use. Avoid over-tightening laces.

White leather becoming discolored

Clean immediately with a damp cloth. For persistent marks, use a mild leather cleaner specifically designed for white leather. Apply a leather protector spray regularly.

Sole becoming detached

This is rare. If the sole shows signs of separation, contact the retailer or Dolce & Gabbana customer service for warranty assessment or repair options.

Laces fraying or breaking

Replace laces with a similar style and length. Ensure the eyelets are smooth to prevent premature wear on new laces.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a dust bag to prevent damage and maintain shape.
