Duxford builds on the success of our Silverstone trainer and goes for a simpler aesthetic. The smooth unbroken leather makes it very apparent that this is the bespoke end of trainer manufacture with each pair being hand-patinated to create a rich colour. If you thought a trainer couldn`t look formal then think again. These shoes are hand-patinated individually in the Carlos Santos factory so there can be a noticeable variation of colour from the shoes you receive to the picture on the website. We always strive to get consistency but in a hand-finished product this is not always possible and is a sign of quality. Please note that we would only advise using a gentle wax-based cream or polish to protect carefully hand-finished shoes such as these. Harsh products such as renovating creams, high solvent based products and rain protectors may strip the carefully applied finish. If this happens we will not be able to refund the shoes but we may be able to get them re-finished at the factory for you at your cost.
