FAQs

How do I clean the suede material on these sneakers?

Use a suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a suede eraser can be effective. For tougher marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used very carefully, avoiding excessive saturation. Always allow to air dry naturally.

Are these sneakers suitable for athletic activities?

While comfortable for walking and everyday activities, these sneakers are designed more for casual and lifestyle wear rather than high-impact sports. They offer good support for general movement but are not performance athletic shoes.

What is the best way to store these shoes?

Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape, and keeping them in a dust bag or their original box will protect them from dust and potential damage.

How do I determine the correct UK size?

Refer to the product's size guide or chart provided by the retailer. Generally, UK sizing for men's footwear is standard. If you are between sizes, consider the width and your preference for a snug or roomier fit.

Can I wear these sneakers in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear suede and leather sneakers in heavy rain or wet conditions as moisture can damage the materials, leading to discoloration or permanent marks. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally and away from heat.

What does the 'Medalist' series signify?

The 'Medalist' series by Autry typically refers to their line of retro-inspired sneakers that draw design cues from vintage athletic shoes, often featuring a blend of premium materials and a classic aesthetic.

Troubleshooting

Suede becoming stiff or discolored

Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush. For minor discoloration, try a suede eraser. Ensure the shoes are not exposed to excessive moisture or harsh cleaning chemicals.

Leather creasing excessively

This is a natural part of leather wear. Ensure proper fit to minimize undue stress. Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape. Consider a leather conditioner.

Laces fraying

Replace frayed laces with new ones. Clean existing laces by hand washing with mild soap and water, then air drying.

General dirt and grime accumulation

Use a soft brush for dry dirt. For tougher spots, use a slightly damp cloth on leather and suede areas. Always test cleaning methods on an inconspicuous area first.

  1. Suede Care: Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. For stains, a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth can be used with caution. Avoid getting the suede excessively wet.
  2. Leather Care: Clean leather parts with a soft, damp cloth. Conditioning the leather periodically can help maintain its suppleness.
