FAQs

What is the platform height of these trainers?

The Buffalo London 1339-14 Classic Trainers feature a significant platform outsole height of 6 cm, providing a noticeable lift.

Are these trainers made of genuine leather?

Yes, these trainers are crafted from premium leather materials, ensuring durability and a high-quality finish.

Can I wear these trainers for running or other sports?

No, these trainers are designed for fashion and casual wear, not for athletic activities like running, jumping, or intense sports. The platform design is for style and elevation.

How do I clean the white part of the sole?

The sole can be cleaned using a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and water. For tougher marks, a sneaker cleaner specifically designed for rubber soles can be effective. Avoid harsh chemicals that may damage the material.

What does 'tonal rope laces' mean?

Tonal rope laces refer to laces that match the primary color of the shoe (black, in this case) and have a thick, textured, rope-like appearance. This detail contributes to the trainers' distinct retro aesthetic.

Do these trainers fit true to size?

Buffalo London sizing generally aligns with standard UK adult shoe sizes. However, fit can vary slightly by individual foot shape. It's often recommended to consult a brand-specific size chart if available or try them on to ensure the best fit.

Troubleshooting

Trainers feel too bulky or heavy.

The bulky platform is a key design feature of this style. It is normal for them to feel more substantial than regular trainers. Try wearing them for shorter periods initially to adapt. Ensuring laces are securely tied can improve stability and comfort.

Scuffs or marks appear on the leather.

For light scuffs, gently rub with a soft, damp cloth. For more noticeable marks, use a specialized leather cleaner or a leather polish designed for black leather, following the product's instructions carefully.

Squeaking noise when walking.

Squeaking can sometimes occur with new footwear due to friction between components. This often resolves with continued wear. Ensure laces are snug, and check if the insole is properly seated. If persistent, a light sprinkle of talcum powder under the insole might help.

Foot discomfort after extended wear.

While padded, the platform design can alter foot mechanics. Ensure you have the correct size. If discomfort persists, consider adding an arch support insole for personalized cushioning and support. Break in new trainers gradually.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup

  1. Lacing: Ensure the tonal rope laces are securely but comfortably tied. Adjust the tightness to provide adequate foot support without restricting circulation.
  2. First Wear: As with any new footwear, wear the trainers for short periods initially to break them in and get accustomed to the platform height and feel.

Compatibility

These trainers are designed for maximum stylistic impact and are highly compatible with a range of contemporary and retro-inspired fashion:

  • Apparel: Pair with denim (skinny, straight, or wide-leg), cargo trousers, pleated skirts, mini-dresses, and oversized streetwear.
  • Occasions: Best suited for casual events, parties, concerts, urban environments, and fashion-forward gatherings.

Care Instructions

Proper care will maintain the premium leather and overall appearance of your Buffalo London trainers:

  1. Cleaning: Gently wipe the leather surfaces with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner according to its instructions. Avoid abrasive materials.
  2. Lace Care: If laces become soiled, they can be removed and hand-washed gently with mild soap and water, then air-dried.
  3. Drying: Always allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight, radiators, or artificial heat sources, which can damage the leather.
  4. Conditioning: Periodically apply a high-quality leather conditioner to keep the leather soft, supple, and prevent cracking.
  5. Storage: When not in use, store your trainers in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag, away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
