FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?

Can I use these for jogging?
No, these are fashion trainers with a thin rubber sole. They are not intended for high-impact sports or running.
How do I clean the white Prada logo?
Gently wipe the logo area with a slightly damp microfiber cloth; avoid harsh solvents that could remove the screen-printed ink.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the trainers feature a removable leather-covered insole for easy cleaning or replacement.
What material is the upper made of?

Do the metal hooks affect the fit?

Troubleshooting
Leather surface shows light scuffs
Use a leather conditioner or a matching black leather polish to buff out minor abrasions.
Insole becomes uncomfortable over time
Because the insole is removable, it can be replaced with a third-party orthotic or a fresh pair of leather insoles for continued comfort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Prada Collapse trainers, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Storage: Always store in a cool, dry place. Using a shoe tree will help the leather maintain its shape.
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. For deeper stains, use a professional leather cleaner recommended for calfskin.
- Insole Maintenance: Periodically remove the leather-covered insoles to air them out, which helps maintain freshness.
- Weather Protection: Apply a high-quality leather water-repellent spray if you anticipate wearing them in damp conditions, though heavy rain should be avoided to protect the integrity of the material.
