FAQs
Are these trainers true to size?
Generally, Buffalo London trainers are reported to fit true to size. However, foot shapes vary, so if you are between sizes, consider consulting a brand-specific size guide if available, or trying them on if possible.
How much height do these trainers add?
The Classic platform sole is designed to add significant height, typically around 5-6 cm (2-2.5 inches), giving you an elevated stance and a distinctive look.
Are they heavy to wear due to the platform?
Despite their bulky appearance, the platform sole is described as 'light,' which helps to mitigate excessive weight. They are designed for comfortable casual wear, not heavy or prolonged athletic activity.
Can I wear them in all weather conditions?
The trainers are made from genuine leather. While leather offers some natural water resistance, they are not fully waterproof. It's best to avoid heavy rain or snow to protect the material and prolong their life. A leather protector spray can offer additional defense against moisture.
What kind of outfits do these trainers go best with?
These trainers are incredibly versatile and perfect for adding a bold touch to casual and street-style outfits. They look great with jeans, leggings, cargo pants, as well as with more unexpected pairings like midi skirts or casual dresses for an edgy contrast. Their monochrome black design allows for easy integration into various color palettes.
Is the leather upper stiff?
Being genuine leather, the upper may feel slightly stiff initially. However, with wear, the leather will soften and conform to the shape of your foot, providing greater comfort over time. The padded lining also aids in this process.
Troubleshooting
Scuffs or marks appear on the leather upper.
For light scuffs, a soft, damp cloth can often buff them out. For deeper marks, use a high-quality leather cleaner or a leather balm, applying a small amount to a clean cloth and gently rubbing the affected area. Always test on an inconspicuous spot first.
The platform sole appears dirty or discolored.
Wipe the sole with a damp cloth or a soft-bristled brush (like an old toothbrush) using mild soap and water. For tough stains, a magic eraser can be effective, but use gently to avoid damaging the finish. Rinse thoroughly and air dry.
The trainers feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
Like many leather shoes, these trainers may require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations around the house initially. The padded lining should conform to your foot over time, improving comfort. Ensure you have the correct size.
Laces become dirty or worn.
Remove the laces and hand wash them with mild soap and water. Allow them to air dry completely. If they are severely worn, replacement laces in a similar tonal rope style can be purchased to maintain the aesthetic.
