FAQs
What makes these sneakers sustainable?
The Area Lo sneakers are made with premium leather and suede, combined with Seaqual® Yarn, which is derived from recycled ocean polyester, reflecting a commitment to sustainable fashion.
Are these suitable for running or sports?
No, these sneakers are designed for casual wear and fashion. They offer comfort for daily activities but are not intended for high-impact sports or athletic performance.
How should I clean the suede parts?
Use a soft, dry brush specifically for suede to remove loose dirt and dust. For tougher stains, a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner can be used sparingly.
What is the sole made of?
The sole is made of TR (thermoplastic rubber) with a TPU heel clip, designed to provide durability, stability, and comfort.
Do these sneakers come in other colors or sizes?
Yes, the Area Lo line is available in various colors and sizes. Please check the product listing for available options.
How long will it take for the leather to break in?
The break-in period can vary. Typically, premium leather sneakers may take a few wears to mold to your foot's shape, becoming more comfortable over time.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the leather and sole offer some protection, it is advisable to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. Consider using a water-repellent spray for added protection and cleaning them thoroughly afterwards.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise from shoes
This can sometimes happen with new leather shoes. Try powdering the insole with talcum powder or cornstarch to absorb moisture causing friction. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly.
Leather creasing or scuffing
Minor creasing is natural with leather. For scuffs, use a leather conditioner or a matching color shoe cream to buff out imperfections. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
Discoloration of white leather
Clean regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Protect with a leather protector spray designed for white leather to prevent staining from dirt and water.
Uncomfortable fit
Ensure laces are adjusted correctly for a snug but not tight fit. If the issue persists, consider the possibility of the size not being ideal or break-in period required for leather.
