FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for very cold, snowy conditions?
While the WARMTECH lining provides significant warmth, the suede upper is not waterproof. For heavy snow or prolonged exposure to wet conditions, consider using a waterproofing spray specifically designed for suede and avoid wearing them in deep snow.
How do I clean the synthetic wool lining?
The lining can be gently spot-cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow it to air dry completely. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents.
Can I replace the insole?
Yes, the insole is removable, allowing you to replace it with your preferred orthotic or a new insole for added comfort or support.
What does '90s inspiration' mean for the style?
It refers to the overall silhouette and design elements characteristic of footwear popular in the 1990s, such as the robust sole and the general shape, updated with modern materials and comfort features.
Are these trainers good for hiking?
These trainers are primarily designed for casual urban wear and moderate weather. While the rubber outsole offers good grip, they lack the specialized support and protection needed for serious hiking trails.
What is the heel height?
The heel height is approximately 20 mm (2 cm), providing a slight lift without compromising comfort for daily wear.
How do I ensure the zip lasts?
Avoid forcing the zip. Keep the zipper teeth clean and lubricated occasionally with graphite or a zipper lubricant. If it snags, gently try to free the fabric caught in the teeth.
Troubleshooting
Zip is stiff or difficult to move
Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth of the zip. Gently work the zip up and down to loosen it.
Suede looks dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, use a suede eraser or a commercial suede cleaner, following product instructions. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
Feet feel cold despite the lining
Ensure socks are dry and made of warm material. Check if the shoe fit is snug enough to trap heat without restricting circulation. The lining is designed for warmth, but extreme cold may require thicker socks.
Shoes are wet
Remove excess moisture with a dry cloth. Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture. Do not put in a dryer or use direct heat.
