FAQs

What type of socks are best with these trainers?

Ankle socks or no-show socks are recommended to maintain the clean aesthetic of the trainers. Cotton or wool blends offer good comfort.

Can these trainers be worn in the rain?

While the suede can be treated for water resistance, it is best to avoid wearing these trainers in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve the material.

How should I store my Duke Trainers when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree or stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape. A dust bag or the original box is also recommended.

What is the primary material used for the Duke Trainers?

The primary material is fine suede, contributing to their premium look and feel.

Are these trainers suitable for athletic activities?

These trainers are designed for casual wear and offer comfort for walking. They are not intended for strenuous athletic activities or sports.

How do I clean dirt or mud from the suede?

Allow mud to dry completely, then gently brush it off with a suede brush. For lighter dirt, a suede eraser can be effective. Always brush in one direction.

Troubleshooting

Suede color fading or looking dull

Use a suede brush to restore the nap and apply a suede refresher spray. Ensure they are not exposed to direct sunlight for prolonged periods.

Water spots or stains on the suede

Allow the trainers to dry naturally. Once dry, gently brush the affected area with a suede brush. For stubborn stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner specializing in suede.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces

Ensure the rubber soles are clean and free from debris. If the slipperiness persists, consider having a cobbler add a light tread pattern for improved grip.
