Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

Troubleshooting
Suede appears discolored or stained
Use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner. For stubborn stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.
Laces are frayed or worn
Replace laces with a similar style and length. Ensure replacement laces are suitable for casual footwear.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the rubber soles are clean and free from debris. For persistent slipperiness, consider having a cobbler apply a slip-resistant sole treatment, though this may alter the original design.
Shoes lose shape over time
Use shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help maintain their form. Store them upright in a shoe box or on a shelf.

- Protection: Consider applying a suede protector spray to help repel water and stains. Reapply periodically, especially after cleaning.
