Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup
- Sizing: Before first use, try on the trainers with the type of socks you typically wear. Ensure there's adequate room (about a thumb's width) between your longest toe and the end of the shoe for comfort.
- Lacing: Utilize the extended lacing hooks to achieve a secure yet comfortable fit. Adjust the laces to prevent your foot from sliding inside the shoe without being too tight.
Compatibility
- These trainers are designed for adult males (UK size 6.5) and are compatible with various casual and outdoor apparel. They are best suited for light hiking, walking, and general outdoor or urban activities.
Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your Sprint Trekker Trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: For the black premium waterproof nubuck leather, gently wipe off dirt and debris with a damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, use a specialized nubuck cleaner and follow the product's instructions. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners as they can damage the leather.
- Drying: After cleaning or if trainers get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, fireplaces) as this can dry out and crack the leather.
- Footbed Care: The OrthoLite® footbed is removable. Periodically remove it and allow it to air out separately to prevent odor and maintain freshness.
- Protection: Consider applying a water and stain protector spray specifically designed for nubuck leather. This can enhance their waterproof properties and make future cleaning easier.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. If storing for extended periods, consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Never machine wash your leather trainers, as this can severely damage the leather and structural integrity.
