FAQs
Are these trainers true to size?
Based on typical sizing for this model, they are generally considered true to size. However, due to the nature of the design and materials, we recommend referring to the specific size guide or trying them on if possible. This guide references UK size 8.
What material is the shoe made of?
The main upper is crafted from smooth calfskin leather, and the sole is made of oversized rubber.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the leather can be treated with protectants, these are not designed as waterproof boots. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may damage the leather and affect the shoe's structure. It is best to avoid wearing them in very wet conditions.
How do I clean the oversized rubber sole?
Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and water to clean the rubber sole. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the surface. Wipe dry afterwards.
What is the difference between the two sets of laces?
The sneakers come with a set of bi-colour laces as the primary option and an additional set of laces, likely in a single color or a different variation, for customization or replacement.
Is this a men's or women's shoe?
These are designed as unisex trainers, suitable for anyone regardless of gender.
How should I store these trainers when not in use?
Store them in their original box or a dust bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain their shape and prevent material degradation.
Troubleshooting
Leather creases easily
This is a natural characteristic of soft leather. Minor creasing can be managed by using shoe trees when not in use. Avoid over-tightening laces.
Sole feels heavy
The oversized sole is a key design feature. Ensure the fit is correct for your foot; a proper fit can mitigate the perception of weight. The rubber offers cushioning which contributes to the feel.
Scuffs on the white leather
For minor scuffs, try a specialized leather cleaner. For tougher marks, a professional leather cleaning service may be required. Applying a leather protector spray can help prevent future marks.
Discoloration of the heel counter
The contrast heel counter is designed to be durable but can be stained by certain materials. Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid prolonged contact with dark or dyed fabrics that could transfer color.
