FAQs
How do I know if these trainers fit true to size?
These trainers fit true to size based on Italian sizing conventions. It is recommended to consult a size chart or try them on if possible. The product information notes a 'Regular fit'.
What is the 'distressed' or 'vintage' finish?
The distressed finish is a deliberate design element that gives the trainers a worn, pre-loved appearance. This includes intentional scuffs, marks, and a yellowed sole, which are part of the shoe's unique aesthetic and do not indicate a defect.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the trainers are made of leather and rubber, they are not designed for heavy rain or wet conditions. Excessive moisture can damage the leather and affect the distressed finish. It is best to avoid wearing them in inclement weather.
What are the trainers made of?
The upper is constructed from naplak leather and crackle leather panels, with silk and nylon accents. The sole is made of rubber.
How should I clean the yellowed rubber sole?
The yellowed effect on the sole is intentional for a vintage look. Clean the sole with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh cleaners, as they may alter the intended appearance.
Are there other color options available?
This guide focuses on the specific black variant. Please refer to the retailer or brand's official channels for information on other available colors and styles in the Dad-Star series.
Troubleshooting
Laces are too long or too short
Replace with standard shoelaces of a suitable length. You can purchase replacement laces from shoe care retailers.
Leather feels stiff after cleaning
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner suitable for finished leathers. Allow it to absorb fully before wearing.
Unwanted marks on the vintage finish
Minor marks should blend with the distressed aesthetic. For significant marks, consult a professional shoe repair service specializing in luxury footwear.
