FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The Prada America's Cup series generally fits true to size, but we recommend measuring your feet or referencing the UK sizing guide for the most accurate fit.
Can I wear these trainers for sports?
While durable, these are lifestyle trainers and are not specifically engineered for high-impact athletic performance or professional sports.
How do I protect the patent leather?
Keep the shoes away from extreme heat and avoid storing them in direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or discolouring.
What is the sole height?
The trainers feature a 40 mm rubber sole, providing a balanced, elevated feel.
Are they water-resistant?
The materials are water-repellent to a degree, but they are not waterproof; avoid wearing them in heavy rain to protect the leather.
Troubleshooting
Visible scuff marks on patent leather
Use a specialized patent leather cleaner and a soft cloth to buff the surface gently.
Accumulated dirt in the rubber tread
Use a soft-bristled brush to dislodge debris, followed by a wipe with a damp cloth.
Dullness in the leather finish
Apply a conditioner specifically formulated for patent leather to restore shine.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers are designed for immediate wear right out of the box. To ensure longevity, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources. When cleaning the patent leather, use a soft, slightly damp cloth to wipe away dust and debris. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that may strip the glossy finish of the leather. For the technical fabric sections, a soft brush can be used to gently remove dirt. Always use a shoe horn when putting them on to maintain the integrity of the heel structure.
