FAQs

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, these trainers are not waterproof. The suede and leather materials are susceptible to water damage and staining, so it is best to avoid wearing them in wet conditions.

How do I clean the green suede part?

Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, a suede cleaner can be used sparingly, followed by brushing. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.

What does 'Organically Treated Leather' mean?

Organically treated leather is processed using fewer chemicals and more natural methods compared to conventional leather tanning, aiming for a more environmentally friendly production process.

Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash the entire trainer. Only the laces are suitable for machine washing on a gentle cycle in a laundry bag. Hand-washing with a damp cloth is the preferred method for the shoe itself.

What is the main benefit of the Amazonian rubber sole?

The Amazonian rubber sole supports fair trade practices with rubber tappers in the Amazon rainforest and promotes sustainable harvesting methods, contributing to environmental conservation.

How do the bio-based EVA and recycled EVA in the insole contribute to sustainability?

The bio-based EVA is derived from sugar cane, a renewable resource, while recycled EVA reuses materials that would otherwise be waste. Both reduce reliance on fossil fuels.

What is the typical lifespan of these trainers?

With proper care and regular maintenance, these trainers are designed for durability and can last for several years of regular wear.

Troubleshooting

Suede is stained or dirty

Use a dedicated suede brush to remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, apply a small amount of specialized suede cleaner with a cloth and gently rub. Allow to dry naturally and brush again.

Leather appears dry

Wipe the leather with a slightly damp cloth. For conditioning, use a leather balm specifically designed for treated leather, applying sparingly and buffing off any excess.

Laces are dirty

Remove laces and hand wash with mild soap and water, or place in a mesh laundry bag and machine wash on a delicate cycle. Air dry thoroughly before re-lacing.

General discomfort or fit issues

Ensure the correct size has been selected. Break-in the shoes by wearing them for short periods initially. Consider using thinner or thicker socks as needed.
