FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for athletic performance?
These trainers are designed with a vintage aesthetic and are best suited for casual wear and light activity. They do not offer the specialized support or technology found in high-performance athletic footwear.
How do I clean the patent leather finish?
Clean the patent leather with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks or to restore shine, use a product specifically designed for patent leather care.
What is the main difference between the Heritage Court II and other trainers?
The Heritage Court II is distinguished by its patent leather finish, vintage tennis-inspired design, and the combination of EVA cushioning with a durable rubber construction.
What size should I order?
Refer to the size guide provided by the retailer. The available sizes are listed in UK men's sizing. Consider your usual shoe size and consult any specific fit notes for this model.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the rubber sole offers some protection, the patent leather upper is not waterproof and may be susceptible to water damage or staining. It's advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain.
Does the embossed logo wear off easily?
The embossed logo is part of the leather construction and is generally durable. However, excessive abrasion or harsh cleaning could potentially affect its appearance over time.
What is the heel height?
The Heritage Court II trainers feature a flat heel, consistent with their tennis shoe heritage.
Troubleshooting
Scuff marks on patent leather
Gently buff out minor scuffs with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, use a dedicated patent leather cleaner or a small amount of petroleum jelly, applying it with a soft cloth and buffing gently.
Laces becoming worn or dirty
Laces can be removed and hand-washed with mild soap and water, or replaced with new laces of a similar length and style.
Discomfort after initial wear
Allow a break-in period of a few wears. Ensure the laces are adjusted for a snug but not overly tight fit. Check that the size is correct; consider thicker socks if a slightly tighter fit is desired.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
While the rubber sole offers grip, its effectiveness can be reduced on very slick or wet surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.
