FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

These trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and streetwear. While they offer comfort for walking, they are not optimized for high-impact running or specialized athletic training.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper is constructed from a blend of materials, with 56% leather, 39% textile, and 5% other materials, including suede in some colorways.

How do I clean the tan suede parts?

Use a specialized suede brush to clean suede. For stubborn dirt or stains, use a suede cleaner, and always test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid getting suede wet.

What is the heel type?

The trainers feature a flat heel, contributing to stability and comfort for everyday wear.

What type of fastening do these trainers have?

They feature a traditional lace-up fastening, allowing you to adjust the tightness for a secure and personalized fit.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

The suede material is not ideal for wet conditions. It's recommended to avoid wearing these trainers in rain or wet environments to protect the materials and ensure longevity.

What size are these trainers?

The specific product details indicate a UK size 8 for this listing. Other sizes may be available in different product variants.

Troubleshooting

Laces come undone frequently

Ensure laces are tied securely with a double knot. Consider replacing laces if they are worn and lack grip.

Discomfort after initial wear

This is common with new leather shoes. Wear them for short periods each day to allow them to break in and mold to your feet.

Suede material looks dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, consult a suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Avoid wearing in wet conditions.

Sole feels slippery

Ensure the sole is clean and free of debris. If the issue persists, the tread may be worn down, indicating the shoes have reached the end of their functional life.

Care:
