FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
These trainers are designed for casual wear and fashion. They are not intended for high-impact sports or athletic performance.
How do I clean the distressed leather?
Use a soft, damp cloth and a leather cleaner specifically designed for washed or distressed leather. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Can I remove the insole?
Yes, the insole is padded and removable, allowing for easier cleaning or the insertion of custom orthotics.
Will the distressed look fade over time?
The distressed look is part of the design. While wear and tear will naturally affect the appearance over time, the intentional distressing is meant to be durable.
What does 'washed calfskin' mean?
Washed calfskin refers to leather that has undergone a washing process, resulting in a softer texture and a more natural, lived-in appearance compared to traditional calfskin.
How do I care for the worn laces?
The worn laces are part of the design's vintage aesthetic. If they become too damaged, they can be replaced with standard laces.
Troubleshooting
Uneven distressing or color variation
This is an intentional characteristic of the distressed finish and part of the shoe's unique aesthetic. It does not indicate a defect.
Insole feels uncomfortable or doesn't fit well
Ensure the insole is correctly positioned. If it's still uncomfortable, you can remove it and try wearing the shoe without it or insert a different compatible insole.
Laces appear overly worn
The worn laces are part of the design. If they become too worn or damaged, they can be replaced with standard shoelaces of a similar length and color.
Rubber sole losing grip
Clean the sole to remove any dirt or debris that might be affecting traction. The personalized tread is designed for grip, but accumulated dirt can reduce its effectiveness.
