FAQs
What is the primary inspiration for the Train 89 trainers?
The Train 89 trainers are inspired by classic Polo running shoe designs from the 1970s, updated with contemporary elements.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While they draw inspiration from running shoes, they are primarily designed for casual wear and light activities. They are not intended for intense athletic training.
How should I clean the nubuck and oxford materials?
Use a specialized suede cleaner and brush for nubuck, and a leather cleaner for oxford sections. Avoid excessive water.
Do these trainers offer good arch support?
The trainers feature a TPU heel insert for stability, but they are not specifically designed with advanced arch support for athletic purposes. Consult a specialist if you require medical-grade arch support.
What other colors are available for the Train 89 series?
The Train 89 series is available in various colorways, including black, blue, and white, often with contrasting details. Please check product listings for specific available options.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain. Applying a waterproofing spray can offer some protection, but the materials are best kept dry.
What does the 'TPU heel insert' do?
The TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) heel insert provides enhanced stability and support to the heel area, contributing to overall comfort and a secure fit.
Troubleshooting
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace with new laces of a similar length and material. Consider using waxed laces for added durability.
Slight stiffness in new shoes
Wear the trainers for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Wearing them with socks can also help.
Scuff marks on leather or suede
Use a dedicated suede eraser for suede areas and a leather cleaner for leather parts. Address scuffs promptly to prevent them from setting.
