Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

Troubleshooting

Suede looks matted or dirty.

Use a suede brush to restore the nap of the suede. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner following product instructions.

Shoes feel slightly tight.

Wear the shoes with thicker socks for a short period to allow them to stretch slightly. If the tightness persists, consider professional shoe stretching.

Laces are fraying or dirty.

Replace laces with new ones. Clean existing laces by hand washing with mild soap and water, then air dry.

Sole appears worn.

The herringbone outsole is designed for durability, but if significant wear is observed, consult a shoe repair professional for potential resoling options.
