FAQs
How do I determine the right size?
The trainers use standard UK sizing. It is best to compare against your existing leather dress shoes or sneakers that use the UK sizing system.
Can these shoes be machine washed?
No, machine washing will damage the leather and the structural integrity of the shoe. Use only hand-cleaning methods.
Are these shoes suitable for intense running?
These trainers are designed for casual lifestyle use rather than high-performance athletic sports or long-distance running.
What does the 40 mm sole refer to?
The 40 mm refers to the thickness of the sole, providing a balance of cushioning and low-profile aesthetics.
Do I need to spray the shoes for water resistance?
While leather is naturally resistant, using a leather-safe water-repellent spray can offer extra protection against the elements.
Troubleshooting
Visible scuff marks on the leather
Gently buff the area with a neutral leather polish or a soft cotton cloth using circular motions.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
Clean the rubber tread with a damp brush to remove accumulated debris or dirt build-up that may be obstructing the grip pattern.
Leather appearing dry or stiff
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner sparingly to rehydrate the material and restore flexibility.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are premium leather trainers, proper care is essential to extend their lifespan. To clean, use a soft, dry cloth to remove surface dust. For minor scuffs, utilize a leather-specific conditioner or a neutral polish to restore the luster. Avoid exposing the leather to excessive moisture or harsh cleaning chemicals, as these can compromise the material integrity. It is recommended to store the trainers in a cool, dry place and utilize shoe trees to maintain their shape when not in use. Ensure the sizing is correct for your foot shape, as leather has limited stretch capabilities compared to mesh performance footwear.
