FAQs
How do I determine my UK size?
These trainers fit true to size based on Italian sizing. Refer to standard UK to Italian size conversion charts if unsure, or consult the product siblings for other available sizes.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the rubber sole offers some protection, suede is not inherently water-resistant. It is advisable to avoid wearing these trainers in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage to the suede and leather.
What is the best way to clean the beige suede?
Use a dedicated suede brush for regular maintenance. For stains, a suede eraser is recommended for minor marks. For more persistent stains, consult specialized suede cleaning products and techniques, always testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Are these trainers suitable for athletic activities?
These trainers are designed for fashion and casual wear. While they have a rubber sole for grip, they are not intended for high-impact sports or athletic performance.
What material is used for the sole?
The sole is made of rubber, providing durability and traction.
Do these trainers come with extra laces?
Yes, the product includes a pair of extra laces along with a dust bag and shoe box.
What does 'scalloped leather trims' mean?
Scalloped trims refer to decorative edges that are shaped in a series of curves or arches, adding a distinctive design element to the sneakers.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears matted or dirty.
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap. For stains, try a suede eraser or consult specialized suede cleaning guides.
Leather trims have minor scuffs.
Gently buff with a soft cloth. For deeper scuffs, a leather conditioner or color-restoring balm designed for beige leather might be necessary (test first).
Laces are frayed or worn.
Replace with the included extra laces or a similar pair of flat laces.
Shoes feel stiff initially.
Wear the shoes for short periods to allow them to break in. The leather lining and insole will naturally conform to your foot shape.
