While comfortable, the 1906R series is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear, not high-performance running like marathons.

Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
The leather upper can withstand light moisture, but prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended as it can affect the leather's condition and appearance. Ensure they are dried properly if they get wet.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dry or stiff.
Apply a quality leather conditioner to restore moisture and flexibility. Ensure you are using the product in appropriate conditions.
Laces feel loose or worn.
Tighten the lacing system for a secure fit. If laces are worn, they can be replaced with standard shoelaces.
