FAQs
What is PIG Suede?
PIG Suede is a type of suede leather made from the skin of a pig. It is known for its soft texture and durability, often used in footwear and apparel.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, these trainers are not waterproof. While suede can be treated for water resistance, the material is not inherently waterproof and should be protected from excessive moisture.
How do I clean my suede trainers?
Use a suede brush for dry dirt and a specialized suede cleaner for stains. Always allow them to air dry naturally.
What kind of socks should I wear with Sk8-Hi trainers?
Medium to thin socks are generally recommended to ensure a comfortable fit. Thicker socks might make the shoes feel too tight.
Can I wear these trainers in the rain?
It is not recommended to wear suede trainers in heavy rain as it can damage the material and cause staining. Light, dry conditions are best.
What does 'Sk8-Hi' mean?
Sk8-Hi is Vans' name for their original high-top skate shoe, known for its iconic silhouette and ankle protection.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the size chart and consider that UK sizing is used. If you are between sizes, it's often recommended to go up half a size for a more comfortable fit, especially with thicker socks.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dirty or matted
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For persistent marks, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner according to product instructions.
Shoes feel slightly tight
Suede can stretch slightly with wear. Wear them with medium-weight socks for a few hours at a time to help them mold to your feet. Avoid forcing them if they are significantly too small.
Water marks on suede
Allow the shoes to dry naturally away from heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the texture. Applying a suede protector beforehand can help prevent future water marks.
