Finding the right fit is essential for all-day comfort. Original Penguin shoes generally run true to size, offering a standard width that accommodates most feet comfortably. We recommend ordering your usual sneaker size.

To keep your kicks looking fresh, spot clean canvas areas with a damp cloth and mild detergent. For white soles, a quick scrub with a toothbrush and soapy water works wonders. Avoid machine washing to preserve the structure of the shoe.

FAQs

What defines a "casual" shoe?

A casual shoe is footwear designed for everyday wear, prioritizing comfort and versatility over formal structure. Examples include sneakers, slip-ons, and boat shoes. They bridge the gap between athletic gear and dress shoes, making them perfect for social events, weekends, and smart-casual workplaces.

How should I style men's retro sneakers?

Retro sneakers are incredibly versatile. For a classic look, pair them with cuffed chinos and a polo shirt. For a more relaxed weekend vibe, they look great with denim jeans and a graphic tee. The key is to let the shoe's vintage aesthetic add character to a simple outfit.

Are Original Penguin shoes true to size?

Yes, our shoes are designed to fit true to standard US sizing. If you typically wear a size 10 in other major sneaker brands, a size 10 in Original Penguin should fit you perfectly. If you are between sizes, we recommend sizing up for a more comfortable fit.

How do I clean my canvas shoes?

Canvas shoes are easy to maintain. Mix warm water with a small amount of mild laundry detergent and use a soft brush or cloth to gently scrub stains. Air dry them away from direct heat. We do not recommend putting them in the washing machine.

Do these shoes offer arch support?

Our casual shoes and sneakers feature padded insoles designed for general daily comfort and light walking. While they provide standard support for everyday wear, those with specific orthopedic needs may consider adding their own custom inserts.
