FAQs

How do I clean the leather and suede parts of the Autry Medalist Low?

Use a suede brush for suede areas and a slightly damp cloth for leather. Avoid soaking the shoes. For tougher stains, use specific leather and suede cleaners, testing first on a small, hidden area.

Do these shoes fit true to size?

Yes, the Autry Medalist Low generally fits true to size. It is recommended to refer to the UK sizing provided (UK 8 for this model).

What is the sole height of these sneakers?

The sole height ranges from 2.5 to 3.5 cm. The raised leather sockliner adds an additional 2 cm of height inside the shoe.

Are these sneakers suitable for sports?

The Autry Medalist Low is designed for casual wear and everyday comfort. They are not intended for high-impact athletic activities.

What materials are the shoes made from?

The upper is composed of 80% goatskin and 20% suede. The lining consists of 40% leather, 50% cotton terry, and 10% nylon. The sole is made of 100% rubber.

How should I store my Autry Medalist Low sneakers?

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

Can I wash these sneakers in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather, suede, and overall structure of the shoe.

Troubleshooting

Suede looking matted or dirty

Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, consider a specialized suede cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Leather creasing excessively

Creasing is natural with leather. To minimize the appearance, ensure proper fit and avoid over-stuffing the shoes when storing. Use shoe trees if storing for extended periods.

Odour inside the shoe

Allow shoes to air out completely between wears. Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors, then tap out before wearing. Ensure the lining is dry.

Sole showing signs of wear

Regular cleaning of the sole can prevent build-up that may accelerate wear. For significant wear, consult a cobbler for potential sole repair or replacement options.
