FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running or intense sports?

No, the Area Lo Sneakers are designed for casual wear and everyday comfort. They are not intended for athletic performance and lack the specialized support and cushioning required for running or sports.

How do I clean the metallic gold logo?

Wipe the metallic gold logo gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or liquids, as this can damage the finish.

What is the benefit of the recycled ocean polyester lining?

The recycled ocean polyester lining contributes to sustainability by repurposing plastic waste. It also offers breathability, helping to keep your feet comfortable.

How should I store these trainers when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Keeping them in their original box or using a dust bag can help protect the materials from dust and damage.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the leather offers some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage to the leather and suede. Using a protector spray can help.

What does 'Handmade in Portugal' signify for quality?

Being handmade in Portugal often signifies a commitment to traditional craftsmanship, attention to detail, and high-quality manufacturing standards, which are hallmarks of premium footwear production.

How do I adjust the fit of the Area Lo Sneakers?

The fit can be adjusted using the flat cotton laces. Loosen or tighten them to achieve your desired level of comfort and support.

Troubleshooting

Leather or suede appears dirty or stained.

Gently brush suede with a dry brush. For leather, use a soft, slightly damp cloth. For stubborn stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner specializing in leather and suede.

Laces are worn or dirty.

Remove laces and hand wash them. If damaged, they can be replaced with standard flat cotton laces.

Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces.

Ensure the sole is clean and dry. If the slipperiness persists, the sole may be worn down, and professional advice for grip enhancement might be needed.

Discomfort during wear.

Adjust the lacing for a more personalized fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If discomfort persists, the shoe may not be the right fit for your foot shape.
