FAQs
What is the main advantage of the Area Lo trainers?
The main advantage is the combination of stylish 90s basketball-inspired design with modern sustainable materials and all-day comfort.
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
These trainers are designed primarily for fashion and casual wear. While they offer good support for walking, they are not intended for high-impact athletic activities.
How do I clean the purple leather and suede parts?
Use a soft, dry cloth for general cleaning. For suede, a suede brush is recommended. For stains, use specialized leather and suede cleaners, and always test on an inconspicuous area first.
What does 'Handmade in Portugal' signify?
It signifies high-quality craftsmanship and attention to detail, as Portugal is known for its footwear manufacturing expertise.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
It is best to avoid wearing these trainers in heavy rain or wet conditions, as excessive moisture can damage the leather and suede. Consider using a waterproofing spray suitable for these materials.
What is the sole made of?
The sole is made of TR (thermoplastic rubber) with a TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) heel clip for enhanced stability and durability.
How do I maintain the metallic gold logo?
Clean the metallic logo gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive rubbing, which could cause the finish to wear off.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear the shoes with thin socks initially to allow the leather to stretch slightly. If they remain uncomfortable, consider using shoe stretchers or consulting a cobbler.
Suede appears dull or marked
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, use a suede cleaner specifically designed for the material, following product instructions carefully.
Leather shows scuffs
For minor scuffs, try buffing with a soft cloth. For deeper scuffs, use a leather conditioner or a cream polish that matches the shoe's colour.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the soles are clean and free of mud or debris. If slippage persists on very smooth surfaces, consider a professional to add grip enhancers to the sole.
