FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

No, these trainers are designed for casual wear and leisure activities. They lack the specific support and cushioning required for running.

How do I clean the suede material?

Use a dedicated suede brush to remove dirt and dust. For stains, a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner can be used. Avoid water and harsh chemicals.

What is the main benefit of the low-top design?

The low-top design allows for unrestricted ankle movement, providing greater flexibility and comfort during everyday wear.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet weather, as moisture can damage the material and affect its appearance.

What type of socks are best to wear with these trainers?

Standard casual socks or athletic socks designed for trainers will provide comfort. The choice depends on personal preference and the duration of wear.

How should I store these trainers when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dirty or stained

Use a suede eraser for dry marks or a specialized suede cleaner for tougher stains. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first. Allow to air dry completely.

Laces are worn out

Replace laces with standard trainer laces of a similar length. You can typically find replacements at shoe stores or online retailers.

Tread is losing grip

Ensure the gum rubber sole is clean from debris. For significant wear, professional advice may be needed, but for typical casual use, cleaning is usually sufficient.

Uncomfortable fit

Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly for a snug but not overly tight fit. Consider wearing with appropriate socks. If the issue persists, the sizing may not be suitable.
