FAQs
Are these sneakers true to size?
The sizing for these sneakers is generally consistent with standard UK sizing. It is recommended to consult the size chart and consider trying them on if possible. As they are an 'oversized' style, some may prefer to size down if they are between sizes or have narrower feet.
How should I care for the crystal embellishments?
Gently wipe the crystals with a dry, soft microfiber cloth to remove dust or smudges. Avoid using any cleaning solutions directly on the crystals, as this could damage their finish or the adhesive holding them in place.
Can I wear these sneakers in wet weather?
While the leather is treated, it is not fully waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing these sneakers in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the leather and crystal embellishments from damage and staining.
What is the primary material used for the upper?
The upper is primarily made from high-quality calf leather.
What is the main differentiator of this sneaker model?
The main differentiators are its iconic oversized silhouette and the distinctive gradient black and white crystal-embellished heel counter.
Are there other color options available?
This specific model focuses on the white and grey colorway with crystal embellishments. Other variations of Alexander McQueen's Oversized Sneakers may be available in different colors and finishes.
How heavy are the sneakers?
The chunky rubber sole contributes to a noticeable weight, characteristic of the oversized sneaker trend. While comfortable for extended wear, they are heavier than standard trainers.
Troubleshooting
Leather scuffs or scratches
For minor scuffs, try gently buffing the area with a soft cloth. For deeper scratches, a leather repair balm or polish specifically designed for white leather may help, applied sparingly according to product directions.
Crystals become loose or fall off
For a single loose crystal, a small amount of strong fabric glue or jewelry adhesive can be used to reattach it. For multiple missing crystals, professional repair might be necessary to ensure an even application.
Soles appear dirty and difficult to clean
Use a specialized shoe sole cleaner or a melamine foam eraser (magic eraser) with a small amount of water. Gently scrub the affected areas and wipe clean with a damp cloth.
Discoloration on white leather
For light discoloration, try a specialized leather cleaner for white leather. For stubborn stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner who specializes in luxury footwear.
