FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for heavy hiking?

The Diemme Cornaro shoes are designed for light hikes and city wear. While they offer durability and good traction, they are not intended for rugged, technical mountaineering or long-distance trekking.

How do I clean the waxed suede?

Gently brush away dirt with a suede brush. For more persistent marks, a suede eraser can be used. Avoid excessive water, and for deep cleaning, professional care is recommended.

What is the primary benefit of the rubber sole?

The lightweight rubber sole provides excellent stability and grip on various surfaces, from urban streets to light trails, while contributing to the overall comfort and reducing weight.

Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?

Yes, the waxed suede upper is treated to be weather-proof, offering resistance to moisture, making them suitable for use in wet conditions.

What kind of socks are best with these shoes?

For comfort and performance, especially during longer wear, consider moisture-wicking socks made from wool or synthetic blends. For break-in periods, thinner socks might be preferable.

How does the sizing run for the Cornaro model?

The Diemme Cornaro generally runs true to size. It is recommended to consult a sizing chart and consider the type of socks you will be wearing to ensure the best fit.

What is the difference between the 'Hiking Shoe' and 'Trainer' variants?

While both share the Cornaro design, the 'Hiking Shoe' designation often implies a slightly more robust construction or sole pattern suitable for light trails, whereas 'Trainer' may lean more towards urban comfort and style.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained

Use a suede brush to gently remove dry dirt. For stubborn stains, try a suede eraser or consult a professional leather cleaner.

Laces are difficult to tie or keep tied

Ensure laces are the correct length and type. Double-knotting can provide a more secure tie.

Shoe feels stiff on first wear

This is common with new leather shoes. Wear them for short periods initially to break them in gradually. Consider using thinning socks or insoles if needed.

Reduced grip on wet surfaces

While the rubber sole offers good traction, grip may be reduced on extremely wet or slick surfaces. Clean the sole of any mud or debris to maximize contact.

Care:

  • Cleaning Suede: Use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and dust. For tougher marks, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid using water directly on suede unless specified by a professional cleaner.
