FAQs
What material is the Y-3 Field Trainers made from?
The trainers feature a 100% calf leather upper and a 100% leather lining, with a 100% rubber sole.
Are these trainers suitable for athletic activities?
No, the Y-3 Field Trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and style, not for high-impact sports or athletic performance.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Gently wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, a specialized leather cleaner can be used after testing on a small, hidden area.
What is the main benefit of the rubber sole?
The rubber sole features a lug pattern designed to provide reliable grip and stability on various surfaces.
Do these trainers come in different colors?
While the primary offering is black with white accents, variations in color description might exist across different releases or sibling products.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Refer to the size guide and try them on indoors. Leather can offer some give, but it's important to start with a size that feels comfortable.
Can I wear these in the rain?
The rubber sole offers some protection, but the leather upper is not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain and to use a leather protector spray for water resistance.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dry or stiff
Apply a quality leather conditioner to moisturize the material. Ensure the trainers are stored away from heat sources.
Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces
Ensure the lug pattern on the rubber sole is clear of debris. The sole's grip is optimized for dry to moderately wet conditions; exercise caution on very slick surfaces.
Sizing feels slightly off
Leather can stretch slightly over time. If the fit is initially snug but not painful, it may loosen with wear. If too loose, consider using insoles.
Dirt marks on the leather
Use a slightly damp cloth for general cleaning. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner and follow product instructions carefully.

- Cleaning: Gently wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner, testing it on an inconspicuous area first.
- Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent drying or cracking. Use a clean cloth to apply a small amount, then buff gently.

- Protection: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for leather to offer an additional layer of protection against the elements.
