FIT & SIZING
- This sneaker runs large; we recommend sizing down by a half size
- For example, if you typically wear a size 9, consider ordering a size 8.5 in the Edge Sneaker.
- Given the nature of the premium, natural leather, the Edge Sneaker can take a few days to soften as you wear them. A leather conditioner can also help quicken the softening process.

Nappa leather is a premium material, and contains natural oils to keep it soft and pliable. Accordingly, a minimal break-in time is needed.
However, there are a few tips to support a break-in period if needed.
- Wear brand new shoes for short periods at first. This could include wearing around the house for an hour or two
- Wear thick socks during the initial break-in period
- Avoid using excess heat such as a hair dryer, as this can dry out the natural oils contained in leather, risking cracking or discoloration
Leather
- Nappa leather sneakers can be easily be cleaned with a damp cloth and periodically treated with a leather conditioner to extend its lifespan
- Cream polish is also able to help eliminate minor scuff marks
- In rainy climates, consider using an all-season leather protector
- When your shoes become wet, dry them with a soft, clean cloth and let them dry in a natural environment. If they are damp on the inside, pack them with newspaper to help absorb water. Leather should always dry naturally, so avoid fires and heaters.
- Store shoes out of direct sunlight and away from heat. When you won't be wearing them for long periods, wrap in tissue paper and store in a shoebox or shoe bag somewhere cool and dry
Suede
- Avoid wearing suede in the rain, as suede can be easily ruined by water (can get surface stains that are unable to be repaired)
- There are some finishers that you can spray to make the suede water-resistant or waterproof, however do note that this can take away some of the texture of the raised fibres
- To clean suede shoes, never put them in a washing machine. Instead, use a lightly damp, lint-free cloth or a specialist suede brush to rub in in straight motions but in different directions and remove dirt
- You can look into a suede conditioner to treat the material and keep it long-lasting
- Store shoes out of direct sunlight and away from heat. When you won't be wearing them for long periods, wrap in tissue paper and store in a shoebox or shoe bag somewhere cool and dry
