Vintage Distressed FAQ

Q: Are the dirt and scuff marks printed on, or do they wipe off?

A: The distressing is applied by hand using a special leather smudge curing treatment, meaning it won’t easily wash off or disappear in the rain, scoring 4.5/5 on our durability tests.

Q: Does the shoe come with the signature loopback cotton interior?

A: Yes, our verified sourcing batch includes the soft terry-cloth inner lining, which absorbs sweat and provides that cozy, barefoot comfort feeling.

Q: What is the shipping weight of this pair?

A: Due to the low-profile rubber sole, they are highly lightweight, weighing roughly 720g. Shipping them in a simple mailer envelope is a smart way to optimize your international shipping freight.
