FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for serious hiking?
The Diemme Cornaro trainers offer stability and durability for light trails and walks. For demanding or technical hiking, dedicated hiking boots with more advanced features are recommended.
How should I break in these leather trainers?
Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing the duration. The natural leather will adapt to the shape of your foot over time.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, they are not waterproof. For significant rain, it's advisable to use a waterproofing spray and avoid prolonged exposure to heavy moisture.
What is the best way to clean the leather upper?
Use a soft, dry cloth for general dust. For tougher dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used. Always allow the leather to air dry naturally and avoid heat.
Do these trainers come in other colors?
This guide specifically covers the "Black" variant. Please check the product listings for availability of other colors or materials.
What size should I choose if I'm between UK sizes?
Generally, if you are between sizes, it's often recommended to size up for trainers to ensure adequate room for comfort, especially when wearing thicker socks. However, fit can vary, so trying them on is ideal if possible.
Is the branding noticeable?
The Diemme branding is described as subtle, emphasizing authenticity without overpowering the shoe's minimalist aesthetic.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dry or stiff
Apply a quality leather conditioner according to product instructions. Ensure shoes are not stored in excessively dry environments.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the sole is clean and free from debris. For persistent issues on very smooth surfaces, consider consulting a cobbler about potential sole treatments, though this may affect the original design.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace laces with new ones of similar material and length. Consider waxed laces for increased durability.
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If the issue persists after break-in, consider if the sizing is correct or if an insole insert might help.
