FAQs
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the suede material is not inherently waterproof. While a protector spray can offer some resistance, they are not designed for wet conditions.
How do I clean the white side stripe?
The rubber or synthetic side stripe can usually be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, a magic eraser can be effective, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
What is the best way to store these trainers?
Store them in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe box or dust bag, away from direct sunlight and heat to preserve the suede and color.
Can I wear these for sports?
These trainers are designed for casual wear and light activity. They are not recommended for high-impact sports or athletic performance due to limited support and cushioning.
How do I break in the shoes?
Suede trainers typically soften with wear. Wearing them for short periods initially and using thicker socks can help speed up the break-in process.
What size should I choose if I'm between sizes?
Given that suede can stretch slightly, it is often recommended to size down if you are between sizes for a snugger fit that will loosen over time.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks matted or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For tougher stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner according to product instructions.
Shoes feel too tight
Suede can stretch slightly with wear. Wearing them with thin socks or using shoe stretchers may help. Ensure you selected the correct size initially.
Laces are worn out
Replace laces with standard trainer laces. Ensure the length is appropriate for the number of eyelets.
