FAQs
What materials are these trainers made from?
The trainers are made from a combination of 54% Calf Leather (Bos Taurus), 46% Nylon, with a sole composed of 100% Rubber, Phylon, and TPU.
Are these trainers suitable for athletic training?
While they have a sporty design, they are primarily intended for fashion and casual wear, not for high-intensity athletic activities.
How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
Use a specialized suede brush to clean suede. For stains, a dedicated suede cleaner can be used after testing on a small, hidden area.
What is the closure type for these trainers?
These trainers feature a traditional lace-up closure for an adjustable and secure fit.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
While the rubber sole offers some protection, the suede and leather materials are not waterproof and can be damaged by excessive moisture. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain.
What is the purpose of the heel pull-tab?
The heel pull-tab is designed to assist in easily pulling the trainers on and off your feet.
What type of insole do these trainers have?
They feature a felt insole and a thermoformed leather-wrapped foam fussbett insole for enhanced comfort.
Troubleshooting
Laces becoming worn or frayed.
Replace laces with a similar type or a complementary color. Ensure laces are tied securely but not overly tight to avoid unnecessary stress.
Suede material looks flat or matted.
Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap and texture of the suede. Brush in one direction consistently.
Soles accumulating dirt or debris.
Wipe the soles clean with a damp cloth or a soft brush after wear. Ensure the grooves are free of debris for optimal grip.
General loss of shape over time.
Utilize shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the trainer's original shape. Store them properly to avoid creasing.
