The trainer left the sports field long ago to enter the office, the restaurant and the smartest wardrobes. It still has to be well made: a beautiful leather, a sturdy sole, real walking comfort. Here is what sets our sneakers apart and how to choose them.

What is a women's leather sneaker?

A women's leather sneaker is a low lace-up shoe on a rubber sole, whose upper is cut from smooth leather or suede rather than canvas or synthetic materials. It keeps the comfort of a trainer while coming closer, through its materials and finishes, to a town shoe. It is the most casual of our women's leather shoes, and often the most worn.

Where does the word sneaker come from?

The word comes from the English to sneak, to slip about quietly. In the early 20th century, the first rubber-soled shoes made it possible to walk without the slightest noise, unlike leather-soled shoes with clacking heels. The nickname stuck, and today refers to town trainers, as opposed to technical sports shoes.

Edmond or Maxime: which sneaker should you choose?

Edmond suits those looking for a minimalist trainer, easy to match; Maxime those who like details and a more graphic look. Both rest on the same stitched recycled rubber sole and the same comfort.

Edmond, the minimalist line

Edmond is a low trainer with a clean line, with no logo or superfluous topstitching. In white calf leather, it is the go-anywhere pair of the week; in black, blue or tobacco suede, it gains warmth and goes with autumn outfits. Its simplicity lets it move from raw denim jeans to suit trousers.

Maxime, the spirit of the 1970s

Maxime draws on the German Army Trainer, a training shoe designed in the 1970s for German army soldiers, recognisable by its suede panels on a leather upper. We kept its silhouette and worked it like a dress shoe: edge-to-edge stitching, hand-sewn bar tacks, calf leather lining, reinforced eyelets and waxed laces.

How to recognise a quality leather sneaker?

Three elements make the difference: the quality of the leather, the construction of the sole and the care taken over the finishes.

Why are our sneakers comfortable?

Because we apply to them the comfort principles of our shoes: a carefully designed last, cushioning under the sole of the foot and supple materials. A trainer is worn for a long time, several hours standing or walking; that is where these choices count.

Our ergonomic last, developed with our craftsmen lastmakers, remains identical on all our models: once you have found your women's size, it holds for the whole collection. The leather insole rests on an ergonomic latex foam, which absorbs the impact of the heel and spreads the body's weight. In Corio makes these sneakers in family workshops in the Porto region, with Italian leathers, at a fair price.

How to wear and care for your women's sneakers?

A plain leather sneaker goes with almost everything, provided you keep a neat outfit and simple colours around it; a few care routines then suffice to keep it impeccable.

From the trouser suit to jeans

With a trouser suit, a white Edmond relaxes the whole without disordering it. With a midi dress or a pleated skirt, it brings an urban note. With straight jeans and a long coat, Maxime in black gives a confident silhouette. Our article how to wear women's sneakers offers further pairings.

The care routine

Here is the routine we suggest for leather and suede:

1. Clean your white sneakers with a soft cloth and a cleansing milk, then leave to dry in the open air.
2. Brush the suede dry with a brass brush to lift the nap.
3. Let each pair rest for a day between wears.

Frequently asked questions about women's sneakers

What is the difference between sneakers and trainers?

Both words refer to shoes with a rubber sole. In France, sneakers is often reserved for town models, in leather or suede, worn every day, and baskets for sports shoes. In everyday usage, the two terms have become almost synonymous.

Can you wear sneakers with a dressy outfit?

Yes, provided you choose a leather pair, clean and minimalist. A white or black sneaker goes with a trouser suit, a midi dress or pleated trousers, and brings a more relaxed look without looking sloppy.

How to keep white sneakers clean?

Wipe them after each wear with a soft cloth, clean the leather with a cleansing milk as soon as a stain appears and leave them to dry away from any source of heat. Storing them away from dust limits yellowing.

In summary

Edmond, minimalist, in white leather or suede, goes with every outfit; Maxime, inspired by the 1970s, asserts its style with its bootmaker's finishes. With a stitched recycled rubber sole, a latex foam under the sole of the foot and Italian leathers, our women's sneakers offer the comfort of a trainer and the hold of a dress shoe.
