FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard sizing, but because of the roomier toe box, some users prefer their usual size for a comfortable fit.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the rubber foxing. Hand cleaning is recommended.
Is the leather water-resistant?
Leather is naturally more resistant to light rain than canvas, but it is not fully waterproof.
Do these shoes provide arch support?
They feature improved cushioning compared to the original models, offering better support for casual, daily activity.
How do I maintain the white colour?
Regularly wipe them down with a damp cloth to prevent dirt from setting into the leather grain.
Troubleshooting
Stiff leather feel
Wear the shoes for short intervals indoors with thicker socks to gradually stretch and soften the material.
Scuff marks on rubber foxing
Use a magic eraser or a damp cloth with a tiny amount of baking soda to gently scrub the white rubber sidewalls.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers last, pair them with high-quality socks to assist with the leather break-in phase. When cleaning, avoid machine washing; instead, use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap to gently wipe the leather surface. Keep the floral pattern vibrant by avoiding harsh solvents or abrasive brushes. If the leather becomes wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the leather to crack or lose its shape. Store them in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the adhesive and rubber.
