What materials are used in the upper of this trainer?

The upper is constructed using a combination of suede and oxford materials.

Is this shoe suitable for athletic performance?

These trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and style. While they offer comfort and moderate support, they are not intended for high-impact athletic activities.

What is the purpose of the TPU-reinforced heel?

Troubleshooting

Suede becoming discolored or stiff

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap. For tougher stains, consult a professional suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Avoid excessive water.

Soles detaching slightly

For minor separation, a specialized shoe adhesive can be carefully applied. For significant detachment, professional repair is recommended.

Laces fraying

Replace frayed laces with new ones of a similar style and length. Ensure they are tied securely but not overly tight to avoid stress.

General dirt and grime on the upper

Wipe down non-suede areas with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution sparingly and wipe clean. Brush suede sections separately.
