FAQs

Are these true to size?

The Popham Lite generally fits standard to size. If you are between sizes, we recommend opting for the larger size due to the structured leather upper.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No. Never put leather or suede trainers in the washing machine as this will ruin the materials and structural adhesives.

What is the material composition of the upper?

The upper is a mix of smooth black leather, debossed camo leather, and soft black suede accents.

How do I protect the reflective piping?

Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive brushes directly on the reflective piping to prevent peeling or degradation.

Are these suitable for sports?

While they feature a flexible sole, these are fashion trainers intended for lifestyle and casual use, not for high-intensity athletic performance.

Troubleshooting

Visible dust on the black suede

Gently use a dry, soft-bristled brush in the direction of the nap to lift away dust without damaging the texture.

Creasing in the leather upper

Use wooden shoe trees when the sneakers are not being worn to help retain their shape and minimize deep creases.

Loss of shine on the TPU heel clip

Use a microfiber cloth with a small amount of non-abrasive plastic polish or simply buff with a clean cloth to restore the gloss.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Out of the box, these trainers are ready for wear. To ensure they last, treat the leather and suede before your first use with a high-quality protective spray. Avoid exposing the suede to heavy rain or mud as these materials are porous. When cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth for the leather surfaces and a specialized suede brush for the heel and side panels. If the laces become dull, wipe them with a slightly damp cloth and let them air dry away from direct heat to keep the waxed finish intact.
