Founded in 2021, Cleens set out to do one thing: deliver luxury-grade footwear at an attainable price. Every pair of Cleens trainers is made in a family-run Portuguese factory using leathers and suedes from Italy, Spain and Portugal — the same supply chains as the big designer houses. It's why you'll now find Cleens shoes stocked in Harvey Nichols and Flannels.
Which Cleens Trainers Should You Start With?
The Cleens Essential Runner is the perfect entry point — the silhouette that made the brand a best seller, now also available as the updated Essential Runner EVO. The Aero Runner is the all-time favourite, while the Court Trainer and Essential Skate round out the classics.
Buying your first pair? Go for black Cleens. Black is the most versatile colourway in the range, works with everything from denim to tailoring, and the Black Pack drops sell out fastest for a reason.
Cleens Trainers for Women
Yes — Cleens trainers womens sizing is fully covered, with a dedicated small-sizes collection from UK 3 to 5.5. The unisex silhouettes mean every style, from the Essential Runner to black Cleens classics, works just as well in a women's rotation.
Quality You Can Feel
Each pair of Cleens shoes passes dozens of quality-control checks before leaving the factory. European materials, Portuguese craftsmanship, timeless design — that's the attainable-luxury formula, and thousands of five-star reviews back it up.
When's the Best Time to Buy?
Full-price drops sell through quickly, but the Cleens sale — especially the Summer Sale, the brand's biggest — is the smart shopper's moment. Sign up to the newsletter or download the app for early access, because sizes in a Cleens trainers sale rarely last more than a few days.
The bottom line: Cleens trainers offer designer-level craft without the designer price. Start with the Essential Runner in black, and you'll understand the hype.
