Full details
The Vivienne Westwood Drunken Trainers are designed for fashion-forward adults who appreciate a blend of avant-garde design and vintage athletic aesthetics. Featuring the signature 'Drunken' system with an asymmetric upper, these trainers provide a unique visual profile and comfortable fit for everyday wear. A notable caveat is the distressed leather finish, which gives the shoe a worn-in appearance that may not appeal to those seeking a pristine or uniform look.

FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing, but the asymmetric cut may feel slightly different than a traditional symmetrical shoe.
Can I use these for running?
No, these are fashion trainers and are not intended for high-impact athletic performance or long-distance running.
How do I maintain the gold-tone orb?
Wipe the orb gently with a dry, lint-free cloth to maintain its shine; avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
What does the 'Drunken' system mean?
It refers to the intentionally off-centre, asymmetric design of the upper and lacing system that creates a deconstructed visual look.
Does the leather come pre-distressed?
Yes, the trainers are crafted from distressed leather, meaning the weathered look is an intentional part of the design.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel loose or uneven
Due to the off-centre design, re-thread the laces starting from the toe, ensuring they are pulled through the guides evenly.
Scuff marks on the leather
As the leather is distressed, minor scuffs often add to the intended aesthetic; for larger marks, use a soft eraser or leather cleaning solution.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Drunken Trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: Adjust the off-centre laces carefully upon first wear to accommodate your arch and instep, as the asymmetry may feel different from standard trainers.
- Leather Care: Since the leather is distressed, avoid using heavy waxes or polishes that could clog the grain. Instead, use a soft, dry cloth to remove surface dirt and a specialized leather conditioner if the material feels dry.
- Storage: Keep your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from cracking or deforming.
- Weather: While durable, leather is not waterproof. Avoid wearing these in heavy rain to protect the texture and prevent moisture damage.
