Cleaning Embassy London Trainers

You clean the leather uppers the same as you would for any of our leather shoes, using our recommended Embassy London Shoe Leather Cream. To clean the rubber soles and sidewalls of your trainers, a Clorox wipe is the best solution. If your trainer has a patent leather or suede accent, please see the guide for cleaning instructions for cleaning patent leather and waterproofing suede.

Cleaning Patent Leather

Some of our shoes have patent leather accents. We recommend cleaning the patent leather portion of your shoe with a soft, cotton, lint-free cloth, dampened with a little water and a tiny bit of mild soap. Wipe down the outside of the patent leather with the damp, soapy cloth. Dry the patent leather with a soft polishing cloth. Let the item dry at room temperature for approximately 24 hours.  Please be careful not to scratch your patent leather.

My new shoes are a bit stiff. What can I do?

We recommend rubbing a little Embassy London Leather Cream on the inside top edge of the shoe that rests against the back of your heel to soften the leather and eliminate the risk of blisters. Work in the cream for several minutes and then let it dry overnight before wearing.
