Pikolinos Getafe casual trainers in blue

The Pikolinos Getafe blue trainers are men's casual sneakers built for everyday wear: a retro runner shape finished in leather, so they look smarter than a pair of gym shoes. They are made in Spain.

Design and materials

The upper mixes smooth blue leather with a subtly burnished finish, a tan-brown stripe along the side and soft-textured panels in a very dark navy, almost black. There's a little decorative perforation on the toe and a camel leather tab on the tongue with the Pikolinos logo. The sole pairs a white midsole with a black, well-treaded outsole, which gives the shoe its sporty edge.

Fit and comfort

They lace up as normal, but there's also a zip on the side, so you can slip them on and off without untying them every time. It's a genuinely useful touch if you wear them daily or find bending down a bit of a chore. The insole is removable, so you can take it out to air or swap in your own orthotic if you use one.

How to wear them

Blue and brown is an easy pairing: think dark denim, stone or camel chinos and cotton trousers. They work with a polo or short-sleeved shirt in the warmer months and with a knit jumper or suede jacket once the evenings cool down. A practical choice for strolling around Marbella, smart-casual office days or travelling, as one pair covers a lot of ground.

Care

Wipe the leather with a soft, slightly damp cloth and treat it now and then with a neutral or blue leather cream. Brush the textured panels dry with a suede brush. If they get wet, let them dry at room temperature, away from radiators and direct sunlight.
