Full details
The ART Brighton trainers are designed for adults, specifically women, who appreciate urban, free-spirited style combined with exceptional comfort. The key benefit is the ultra-light SOFTLIGHT material used in the sole and insole, making them a pleasure for all-day wear. A potential consideration is that they are primarily suited for casual wear and warmer seasons. Key features include a platform heel, lace-up closure, and a chrome-free interior.

FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running or intense sports?
No, the ART Brighton trainers are designed for casual wear and everyday comfort. They are not engineered for high-impact sports or running due to their construction and platform sole.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to the size guide for specific measurements. The 'Comfort Last Fit' aims for a relaxed feel, but ensure your heel is secure and there's adequate space in the toe box without the shoe feeling loose.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the SOFTLIGHT outsole offers some grip, the materials (leather, nylon, textile lining) are not fully waterproof. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain.
What does 'Chrome-Free Interior' mean?
It signifies that the materials used for the shoe's lining and interior have been processed without the use of chromium salts, which is often used in leather tanning. This can be better for the environment and potentially reduce skin sensitivities.
How high is the platform heel?
The heel height is 40mm (approximately 1.57 inches).
Can the microfiber insole be replaced?
Yes, the insole is designed to be removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics or replacement insoles if desired.
What is the main advantage of the SOFTLIGHT material?
The primary advantage is its extreme lightness and cushioning properties, which contribute significantly to the overall comfort of the shoe for prolonged wear.
Troubleshooting
Laces not staying tied
Ensure laces are threaded through all eyelets and tied using a standard shoelace knot. If they continue to slip, consider replacing them with different textured laces.
Discomfort after initial wear
The shoes may require a short break-in period. Wear them for increasingly longer periods each day. Ensure the fit is correct and consider using the removable insole for custom orthotics if needed.
Scuffs or marks on the leather/nylon
Use a damp cloth to gently wipe away fresh marks. For more persistent scuffs on leather, a leather conditioner or cleaner appropriate for the material may be used. Test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
Odor development
Ensure feet are clean and dry before wearing. Use odor-absorbing insoles or foot powders. Air the shoes out after each use and wash removable insoles regularly.
