FAQs
What material are the Dsquared2 Boxer Sneakers made of?
The sneakers feature a primary construction of full-grain leather, with additions of suede on the toe and lacing area, and rubber for the sole and outsole. Metallic details are also present on the heel.
Are these sneakers suitable for wide feet?
The product description does not specify width options. However, the lace-up closure allows for some adjustability. It is recommended to consult sizing charts and consider reviews for fit information.
How do I clean the black side stripes?
The black side stripes are integrated into the design. For general cleaning of the shoe, use a damp cloth on the leather. If the stripes themselves accumulate dirt, a slightly damp cloth with a mild soap solution can be used carefully, followed by wiping with a clean damp cloth.
What is the sole height?
The sole height is 2 cm at its standard point, and up to 3 cm at its highest point.
Can I wear these sneakers in wet weather?
While the rubber sole offers some protection, the leather and suede upper are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials.
What size is a UK 8.5 equivalent to in other regions?
Sizing can vary between brands and regions. A UK 8.5 is typically equivalent to a US 9.5 and a European 42.5. Refer to the specific Dsquared2 size chart for the most accurate conversion.
How durable is the lugged rubber sole?
The lugged rubber sole is designed for durability and comfort, providing good grip for everyday urban use. Its robust nature should ensure longevity with proper care.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise from shoes
This can sometimes occur with new leather shoes. Try wearing them for a few more days to break them in. If the noise persists, check for any loose components or consider applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole if it's removable.
Leather creasing excessively
Natural creasing is expected with leather. Ensure proper fit to minimize excessive creasing. Store shoes upright or with shoe trees to help maintain their shape when not in use.
Stains on suede material
Address stains on suede immediately. Use a suede eraser for dry marks or a specialized suede cleaner for wet stains. Always brush the suede afterwards to restore its texture.
Discoloration after cleaning
Always use cleaning products specifically designed for the material (leather, suede). Test any cleaner on a small, hidden area first to ensure it doesn't cause discoloration. Avoid over-wetting the materials.
