FAQs
Are these sneakers suitable for intense exercise?
While durable, the America's Cup trainers are designed as lifestyle footwear and are not intended for high-impact sports or gym training.
How do I determine my correct size?
The trainers follow standard UK sizing; it is recommended to reference the sizing label on the tongue or your existing Prada shoe size.
Can these shoes be machine washed?
No, machine washing will permanently damage the leather and structural integrity of the shoe. Only use surface cleaning methods.
What is the height of the sole?
The sole features a height of 40 mm, providing a slight elevation and impact absorption.
Are the materials water-resistant?
The technical fabric offers moderate resistance, but the shoes should not be submerged in water or used in heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Scuff marks on patent leather
Gently buff the area with a soft microfiber cloth; for deeper marks, use a professional patent leather cleaner.
Dirt buildup in the rubber tread
Use a soft brush and mild soap solution to clear debris from the tread grooves, then air dry completely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers are crafted from sensitive materials, they arrive ready for immediate wear. To ensure longevity, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the fabric. When cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth for the patent leather sections and a soft-bristled brush for the technical fabric areas. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can strip the finish from the patent leather. For optimal fit, ensure you select the appropriate UK size as indicated on the tongue labeling.
