FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

No, it is recommended to wipe these leather sneakers clean with a damp cloth to protect the integrity of the material.

Do these leather hi-tops run true to size?

Yes, they feature a standard fit, but if you are between sizes, consider trying both half-sizes for the best individual fit.

Can I wear these in the rain?

The leather upper provides better protection against light moisture than canvas, but they are not fully waterproof.

What is the purpose of the OrthoLite insole?

The OrthoLite insole provides additional cushioning, moisture management, and long-term support for increased walking comfort.

How do I maintain the leather finish?

Use a high-quality leather conditioner occasionally to prevent the material from drying out and cracking over time.

Are these suitable for sports?

While based on basketball heritage, these are intended for casual lifestyle use and do not offer the support required for modern performance athletics.

Troubleshooting

Leather feels too stiff after first wear

Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow the leather to naturally soften and conform to your foot shape.

Visible scuffs on the rubber toe cap

Use a specialized rubber cleaner or a mild soap solution with a soft brush to gently scrub the affected area.

Laces becoming loose during the day

Double-knot the laces or ensure the eyelets are threaded tightly before securing the final bow.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For the best fit, ensure you select your standard size, keeping in mind that these sneakers are available in various half-sizes to accommodate different foot shapes. Since they feature a premium leather upper, avoid machine washing, which can damage the finish and the leather's natural integrity. Instead, regularly wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth and use a leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to preserve the vulcanized rubber bonding.
