FAQs

What material are the Autry Medalist Low Trainers made of?

The trainers primarily feature a leather upper, with cotton linings and a rubber sole. Specific inserts may vary.

Are these shoes suitable for athletic activities?

No, the Autry Medalist Low Trainers are designed as lifestyle and fashion footwear. They offer comfort for daily wear but are not intended for high-impact sports or specialized athletic training.

How do I clean the white leather and green accents?

Wipe the white leather with a damp cloth. For the green accents, use a clean cloth and avoid harsh chemicals. A specialized leather cleaner is recommended for the main leather parts.

Do these trainers come in other colors or sizes?

Yes, the Autry Medalist series is available in various color combinations and a wide range of sizes. Please check product listings for available options.

What is the fit like?

The Autry Medalist Low Trainers generally have a regular fit. It is advisable to consult sizing charts or customer reviews for specific fit guidance.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the leather can be treated for some water resistance, these trainers are not waterproof and are best avoided in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage.

How should I store my trainers when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape. Keep them in their original box or a breathable shoe bag.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially

Leather shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase the duration. Ensure the correct size has been purchased.

Leather shows scuffs or minor marks

Use a specialized leather cleaner or a leather conditioner. For minor scuffs on white leather, a magic eraser can sometimes be effective, but test in a hidden area first.

Laces are dirty

Remove laces and wash them separately by hand with mild soap and water, or place them in a mesh laundry bag and machine wash on a gentle cycle. Allow to dry completely before re-lacing.

Soles appear worn

Regular cleaning of the soles can help maintain their appearance. Significant wear may require professional evaluation for potential repair or replacement by a cobbler.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper clean with a slightly damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a dedicated leather cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
  2. Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
  3. Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to guard against stains and water damage, especially for the white leather.
  4. Suede/Nubuck (if applicable): Use a suede brush to maintain the texture and remove light dirt. Avoid water on suede or nubuck areas.
  5. Soles: Clean the rubber soles with a damp cloth or a mild soap solution.
