Goswell Tie Trainers - Black - Size: 7

The Goswell Tie trainers are designed for smart-casual wear and everyday comfort, not for high-impact sports or athletic training. Their lightweight EVA sole offers cushioning but lacks the specialized support and durability required for intense athletic activities.

Refer to the size guide provided by Clarks, typically based on UK or EU sizing. Measure your foot length from heel to toe and compare it with the chart. These trainers generally fit true to size, but the adjustable laces and removable footbed allow for some personalization.

It is best to wipe the removable EVA footbed with a damp cloth and mild soap, then allow it to air dry completely. Avoid machine washing or soaking, as this can degrade the material.

With proper care and regular maintenance, the Goswell Tie trainers, made from premium leather and durable EVA, can last for several years. Lifespan depends heavily on frequency of wear and the conditions they are exposed to.

The premium leather upper is not inherently waterproof. While a water-resistant spray can provide some protection, these trainers are not designed for heavy rain or wet conditions. It's advisable to avoid wearing them in prolonged wet weather.

Allow mud to dry first, then gently brush off any loose dirt with a soft brush. Follow up with a damp cloth to wipe away remaining residue. For stubborn stains, use a cleaner specifically formulated for finished leather.

Ensure the laces are tied with a secure double knot. If the laces are very smooth, consider replacing them with a different material that offers more grip.

The EVA footbed is removable. You can replace it with a new one of the same type or insert a preferred aftermarket insole or orthotic for customized support.

Apply a leather conditioner regularly to keep the material supple. Ensure the shoes fit correctly to minimize excessive creasing in unnatural areas.

EVA soles can sometimes have less grip than rubber on very smooth or wet surfaces. Ensure the soles are clean and free from debris. For added traction, consider a professional shoe repairer applying grip pads.
