FAQs
What is the primary material of the Varick Trainers?
The Varick Trainers feature a combination of suede and oxford fabric for the upper, with leather accents on the tongue.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While inspired by running sneakers, they are designed for casual wear and everyday comfort, not high-impact athletic performance.
How should I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
Use a suede brush for dry dirt and a specialized suede cleaner for stains. Avoid excessive moisture and always test cleaners on a small, hidden area first.
What kind of sole do these trainers have?
They feature a die-cut EVA midsole for cushioning and an embossed rubber outsole for traction and durability.
What does 'T-toe silhouette' mean?
The 'T-toe' refers to a design detail on the front of the shoe where the toe cap forms a T-shape, common in vintage athletic footwear.
Do these trainers have good arch support?
The EVA midsole provides general cushioning. For specific arch support needs, consider using aftermarket insoles.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear suede trainers in wet conditions, as the material can be easily damaged by water and stains.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained.
Use a suede brush to clean off loose dirt. For stubborn stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If new, the shoes may need a brief break-in period. Consider using thicker socks for a snugger fit or thinner socks if the shoes feel tight.
Laces come undone frequently.
Try a more secure lacing knot, such as a double knot, or consider replacing the laces with a textured pair that offers more friction.
Color transfer from suede to socks or skin.
This can sometimes occur with new suede products. It is often temporary. Ensure the suede is dry and consider using a suede protectant spray, testing first in an inconspicuous area.
