FAQs
Are these trainers waterproof?
These trainers are primarily made of suede and leather and are not inherently waterproof. It is recommended to use a suede protector spray to enhance water and stain resistance.
How do I clean the suede material?
Use a suede brush for dry dirt. For stains, a slightly damp cloth or specialized suede cleaner can be used. Always allow suede to air dry naturally away from heat.
What is the main advantage of the zip and lace fastening?
This dual system provides a highly secure and customizable fit, allowing you to adjust the tightness precisely to your preference for optimal comfort and support.
Can these trainers be worn for long walks?
Yes, they are designed for comfort with a lightweight and breathable construction, making them suitable for extended periods of wear and moderate walking.
What type of socks are best to wear with these trainers?
Standard ankle socks or trainer socks made from breathable materials like cotton or bamboo blends are recommended for everyday comfort.
What is the heel height?
The trainers feature a subtle wedge heel, providing a slight elevation for added support rather than significant height.
What occasions are these trainers suitable for?
These trainers are ideal for casual wear, such as daily commutes, weekend outings, running errands, or for 'smart casual' dress codes.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner or damp cloth method, ensuring the material dries naturally.
Laces are difficult to adjust
Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly. If they feel stiff, a small amount of lace conditioner (designed for textiles) can be applied sparingly.
Zip is sticking
Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a zipper lubricant to the teeth of the zip. Move the zip up and down gently to distribute the lubricant.
Discomfort after extended wear
Ensure the correct size is being worn. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods initially. Check that the laces are not too tight or too loose.
