FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
No, these trainers are designed for casual wear and fashion. They prioritize style and comfort for everyday activities, not high-impact athletic performance like running.
How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
Use a specialized suede brush to clean suede. For stains, use a suede eraser or a dedicated suede cleaner, always testing on a small, hidden area first. Avoid water on suede whenever possible.
What materials are these trainers made from?
The trainers are made from a blend of suede, canvas, and smooth calf leather, with a sole composed of rubber, Phylon, and TPU.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear these trainers in wet conditions, especially due to the suede material. Water can stain and damage the suede. Consider using a waterproofing spray for protection against light moisture.
What is the fit like?
These trainers generally offer a standard fit. It is recommended to refer to Dolce & Gabbana's specific sizing guide or try them on if possible, as fit can vary slightly between individuals.
How do I care for the leather components?
Wipe leather sections with a soft, damp cloth and dry immediately with a clean cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. Conditioning the leather periodically can help maintain its suppleness.
What is the sole made of?
The sole is constructed from a combination of rubber, Phylon, and TPU, providing durability and grip.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or stained
Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap. For tougher stains, consult a professional leather cleaner or use a dedicated suede stain remover, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Laces becoming frayed
Replace laces with a similar style or color. Ensure laces are tied securely but not excessively tight to prevent unnecessary wear.
Slight odor development
Ensure the shoes are properly aired out after wear. Use cedar shoe trees to absorb moisture and odor, or consider using a shoe deodorizer spray.
Sole showing signs of wear
For minor wear, ensure the shoes are cleaned regularly. For significant wear or detachment, consult a cobbler for potential repair options.
