Full details

The Vivienne Westwood Drunken Trainers are designed for fashion-forward adults who value a unique, avant-garde aesthetic mixed with vintage sports inspiration. These low-top sneakers offer a distinctive asymmetrical look and high-quality leather construction, making them a standout addition to any casual wardrobe. A key caveat for potential owners is the intentional distressed leather finish and off-center lacing system, which require a specific styling approach and may not suit those seeking a traditional, perfectly symmetrical trainer.

FAQs

Are these sneakers true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing, but the asymmetrical upper may feel slightly different than standard trainers.

Can I use these for running?

No, these are lifestyle fashion trainers and do not contain the technical support features required for running.

How do I clean the gold-tone orb?

Use a dry, soft microfiber cloth to gently buff the orb. Avoid harsh chemicals that could strip the gold-tone finish.

Is the leather meant to look worn?

Yes, the Drunken series features an intentional distressed finish as part of its aesthetic.

Are they waterproof?

The leather is water-resistant, but they are not fully waterproof and should be protected from heavy rain.

Troubleshooting

Laces feel loose due to asymmetric design

Re-thread the laces starting from the side anchor points, ensuring consistent tension across the bridge of the foot.

Leather appears too 'distressed'

Apply a small amount of neutral leather cream to restore suppleness, though note that the distressed look is an intentional design element.

Insole comfort lacking

The interior is padded, but if you require extra arch support, the factory insole can generally be swapped for a slim-profile orthotic insert.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Distinctive, avant-garde aesthetic that stands out
  • High-quality leather construction offers longevity
  • Padded interior provides enhanced comfort for daily wear
  • Iconic brand detailing adds a luxury touch to casual footwear

Cons

  • Distressed leather finish requires specific care
  • Asymmetrical design may feel unusual for first-time wearers
  • Off-center lacing requires practice to achieve a perfect tension

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Drunken trainers, begin by adjusting the off-center laces to match your foot's width and arch height, taking care not to overtighten due to the asymmetric nature of the upper. Compatibility-wise, these sneakers pair best with denim, tailored joggers, or casual skirts, acting as a statement piece in your outfit. To care for the leather, use a soft, dry cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid submerging the leather in water, and treat any scuffs on the distressed finish with a high-quality leather conditioner designed for matte or vintage-effect leathers. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from drying out or fading the gold-tone orb.
