Are these trainers suitable for athletic activities?

These trainers are designed for casual wear and everyday comfort, not for strenuous athletic activities. Their suede material and design are optimized for style and casual comfort.

How should I clean the suede material?

Gently brush off dirt with a suede brush. For stains, use a suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Avoid water and harsh detergents.

What is the heel height of these trainers?

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear suede trainers in wet weather, as water can damage and stain the material. Applying a suede protector spray can offer some water resistance.

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.
