FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
No, these trainers are designed for casual wear and light activities. They do not offer the cushioning or support required for running.
How do I clean the grey canvas material?
Use a damp cloth and a mild soap solution for stains. Always allow the shoes to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat.
What is the material of the sole?
The sole is made of 100% rubber, providing durability and traction.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the canvas material is not waterproof and will absorb water. They are best suited for dry conditions.
What does 'High top' mean for these trainers?
High top refers to the cut of the shoe, which extends above the ankle, offering a distinctive style and some additional ankle coverage.
How should I care for the canvas lining?
The canvas lining can be wiped gently with a damp cloth. Ensure proper drying to prevent mildew.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear canvas trainers in wet weather as they are not waterproof and can become saturated, leading to discomfort and potential damage to the material.
Troubleshooting
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace with new laces of a similar length. Consider using waxed laces for increased durability.
Canvas shows signs of wear or thinning
These are typical signs of use with canvas footwear. For minor wear, consider reinforcing with fabric glue if needed, but extensive wear is often a sign the shoes have reached the end of their lifespan.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the soles are clean and free of debris. For persistent issues on very smooth surfaces, consider a rubber sole repair kit or an outsole treatment designed to add grip.
Discomfort after initial wear
Allow a break-in period of a few wears. If discomfort persists, ensure the lacing is adjusted correctly and consider if the sizing is appropriate.
