These trainers are crafted primarily from premium suede with leather lining and a rubber sole. They feature a contrasting black heel tab.
How should I clean my suede trainers?
Gently brush the suede with a suede brush to remove surface dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and always test in an inconspicuous area first. Avoid water and harsh chemicals.
Are these trainers suitable for sports or heavy activity?
No, these trainers are designed for casual and smart-casual wear. They are not intended for athletic performance or rugged outdoor activities.

It indicates that the trainers have been manufactured in Italy, a country renowned for its high standards of craftsmanship, quality materials, and fashion design.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
