FAQs
Are these sneakers true to size?
The Varick Trainers generally fit standard to size, though the leather and suede materials may provide a slightly snug fit initially.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
No, do not put these trainers in a washing machine. The leather and suede components will be damaged by immersion and tumbling.
What is the primary material?
The shoe features a combination of leather and suede on the upper, supported by a rubber outsole and EVA midsole.
Does the suede require a protector spray?
Applying a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede can help extend the life of the shoes by preventing moisture and dirt build-up.
Is the heel reinforcement noticeable?
The TPU-reinforced heel provides essential structural stability, helping your foot stay aligned without feeling overly stiff or intrusive.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather toe box
Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather footwear. To minimize this, use cedar shoe trees when not wearing to help maintain the shape.
Dirt stuck in suede nap
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift dirt out of the nap. Avoid using water, as it can stain the suede material.
Shoes feel tight after long wear
Ensure you are using the correct lacing technique to allow for natural foot swelling throughout the day.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
As these trainers feature a combination of leather and suede, avoid submerging them in water or using harsh detergents. For regular care, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the suede sections. Use a specialized leather cleaner for the leather panels and wipe clean with a soft cloth. When storing, keep the trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or the colour from fading. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, keeping them away from direct heat sources like radiators.
