FAQs
Are these trainers truly unisex?
Yes, the Mallet London Hoxton Lite trainers are designed with a unisex fit, suitable for both men and women. Sizing is typically based on standard men's UK sizing, so women may need to adjust their size accordingly.
How do I clean the gold heel clip?
The gold heel clip can be gently wiped with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or polishes, which could damage the finish.
What is the difference between Hoxton and Hoxton Lite?
The Hoxton Lite is typically an updated or refined version of the original Hoxton trainer, often featuring updated materials or construction for enhanced comfort and a sleeker profile, such as the Ortholite® footbed and potentially lighter weight.
Can I wear these trainers in the rain?
While the trainers offer some protection, they are primarily made from leather and suede and are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to maintain their material integrity and appearance.
What kind of socks are best to wear with these trainers?
Any comfortable socks can be worn. For the best comfort and to complement the premium feel of the trainers, consider opting for trainer socks or ankle socks made from breathable materials.
How durable is the white outsole?
The rubber outsole is designed for durability in everyday wear. However, like all white footwear, it can be susceptible to scuffs and dirt, requiring regular cleaning to maintain its appearance.
Troubleshooting
Leather creasing excessively
This is a natural characteristic of soft leather. Ensure the shoes fit correctly. Using shoe trees when not in use can help maintain shape and minimize creasing.
Suede appears dull or stained
Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, try a suede eraser. Ensure suede has been treated with a protective spray.
White outsole getting dirty
Clean regularly with a damp cloth or a mild cleaning solution. For tougher marks, a magic eraser can be used with caution.
Discomfort during wear
Ensure the correct size has been chosen. The Ortholite® footbed may take a short period to break in. Check lacing for proper tension.
