FAQs
Are these sneakers true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK adult sizing, though the asymmetric cut may feel different than a traditional symmetrical sneaker.
Can I wear these in the rain?
It is recommended to avoid heavy rain as moisture can affect the specific distressed finish of the leather.
How do I clean the gold-tone orb?
Gently buff the orb with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to maintain its shine without scratching the metal.
What does the 'Drunken' system mean?
It refers to the unique, off-kilter design language characterized by the asymmetric upper and off-centre lacing, creating a deconstructed look.
Are the insoles removable?
The trainers are designed with a fixed interior padding for comfort; removing the insoles is not recommended as it may compromise the fit.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel loose or uneven
The off-centre lacing system requires manual adjustment to find the correct tension. Re-thread the eyelets to ensure even distribution across the asymmetric upper.
Leather surface shows scuffs or wear
The leather is designed to be distressed; however, if you want to clean minor surface debris, use a soft, dry brush or a very lightly dampened cloth without soap.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Drunken Trainers, proper maintenance is essential.
Setup: Ensure you select the correct UK size, as the asymmetric construction is designed for a precise fit. Adjust the off-centre laces once to your comfort level, then utilize the flexible structure for easy on-and-off.
Compatibility: These trainers match best with casual-to-smart casual attire, specifically items that do not obscure the orb detail on the heel.
Care: Clean the leather by gently wiping with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, as they may alter the distressed finish of the leather. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat to maintain the integrity of the rubber sole and the padding.
