FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The Skyla Trainers are designed for comfort and everyday wear, not high-impact athletic activities like running. They feature cushioning for walking and standing but lack the specialized support required for intense running.
How do I clean the suede material?
Use a suede brush for regular cleaning. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Always test cleaning products on a small, hidden area first and avoid getting the suede excessively wet.
What is the main benefit of the Cushion+ technology?
Cushion+ technology provides energy-returning properties, meaning it absorbs impact and then rebounds, helping to propel you forward and reduce fatigue during wear.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the PU sole offers some protection, suede is not waterproof and can be damaged by excessive moisture. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions. Using a suede protector spray can offer some resistance.
What does 'Standard Fitting' mean?
Standard fitting indicates that the shoe is designed for average foot widths. If you have particularly wide or narrow feet, you may find them less comfortable than a specifically designed wide or narrow fit.
How durable is the zip fastening?
The zip fastening is designed for regular use. To ensure longevity, avoid forcing it and keep the zip teeth clean and free from debris.
Are there other colours available?
Yes, the Skyla range is available in various colours and materials, including different shades of Suede and other finishes. Please check the product listings for available options.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight
As the fitting is standard, consider wearing them with thinner socks. If the issue persists after a short break-in period, they may not be suitable for your foot shape.
Zip is difficult to move
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zip. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zip teeth to help it slide more smoothly. Avoid forcing the zip.
Suede scuffs or marks appear
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove dry dirt. For stubborn marks, use a dedicated suede cleaner following product instructions. Test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the PU sole is clean and dry. The grip may be reduced on very wet or polished surfaces. For enhanced grip, consider after-market sole grips if needed.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for adult women and offer a standard fitting. They are compatible with most casual outfits and suitable for a range of everyday activities.
Care:
- Suede Care: To maintain the appearance of the suede uppers, use a suede brush to remove dirt and dust regularly. For tougher marks, consider a specialized suede cleaner. Protectants can be applied to help repel water and stains.
- Lining: The textile-PU lining can be spot-cleaned with a slightly damp cloth if needed. Avoid soaking the shoe.
