FAQs
What materials are the Dice T-Toe Sneakers made from?
The sneakers are composed of 47% Leather, 46% Suede, and 7% Polyester for the upper, with a 100% Textile lining and a 100% Rubber sole.
How do I clean the suede parts of the sneakers?
Use a suede brush to maintain the texture and remove dry dirt. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner can be used cautiously after testing on a small area.
Are these sneakers suitable for athletic activities?
While inspired by track and skate shoes, they are primarily designed for casual wear and streetwear, offering comfort for daily activities rather than high-impact sports.
How can I improve the breathability of the sneakers?
The sneakers feature perforated ventilation holes on the sides, which enhance airflow. Ensuring these are not blocked can help maintain breathability.
What is the intended style for these sneakers?
These sneakers are designed for a retro yet contemporary streetwear look, blending '70s runner and '90s skate shoe styles. They are ideal for casual outings and everyday fashion.
Can I wash the sneakers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials (leather, suede) and construction of the sneakers. Spot cleaning and hand care are advised.
What does the 'T-Toe' in the name refer to?
The 'T-Toe' design likely refers to a specific shape or construction detail of the toe box, common in vintage athletic footwear designs.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears matted or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap. For stubborn dirt, a specialized suede cleaner may be required, followed by brushing.
Leather shows scuff marks
For minor scuffs, a leather conditioner or a very mild polish matching the shoe color can help conceal them. Test any product on a hidden area first.
Shoes feel stiff initially
Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to break them in. Natural leather and suede will soften with wear.
Gum sole discolored or marked
Try cleaning the gum sole with a damp cloth. A pencil eraser can sometimes effectively remove scuff marks from rubber soles.
