FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
No, the TOMS Carlo trainers are designed for casual wear and smart-casual outfits. They are not built with the specific support and cushioning required for athletic running.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Use a soft, dry cloth for general cleaning. For tougher spots, a slightly damp cloth can be used. Always allow the leather to air dry naturally.
What type of socks should I wear with these trainers?
You can wear them with no-show socks for a cleaner look with shorts or cuffed trousers, or with casual dress socks when paired with chinos or smart trousers.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The trainers should feel snug but not tight. Ensure there is enough room in the toe box and your heel does not slip excessively. Refer to the sizing chart for guidance.
Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?
While the leather can withstand light moisture, they are not waterproof. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or puddles to prevent damage to the leather.
What is the main benefit of the contrast sole?
The contrast sole adds a modern aesthetic detail and is typically made of lightweight rubber for enhanced comfort and durability.
Troubleshooting
Leather creasing excessively
This is a natural characteristic of leather. Ensure proper fit and use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces
The rubber sole offers good traction, but some surfaces may be inherently slippery. If you experience consistent slippage, consider a rubber sole treatment from a cobbler.
Discomfort after initial wear
Leather shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure you have the correct size and width.
