FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for heavy hiking?

While the Diemme Cornaro trainers offer good stability and durability for varied surfaces, they are primarily designed for casual wear and light trails rather than strenuous or technical hiking.

How do I determine the correct UK size?

Refer to standard UK sizing charts for men's footwear. The product details provide the specific UK size available (e.g., UK 9.5).

Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?

The genuine leather offers some resistance, but it is recommended to treat the shoes with a waterproofing spray specifically designed for leather to enhance protection against moisture.

What is the primary difference between the "Trainers" and "Hiking Shoe" variants if available?

While both share the Cornaro series design, 'Trainers' typically emphasize more everyday comfort and urban style, whereas 'Hiking Shoes' might feature slightly more robust construction or tread for off-road conditions. Always check specific product descriptions.

How often should I condition the leather?

Conditioning is recommended every 3-6 months, or more frequently if the shoes are regularly exposed to harsh conditions or feel dry.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather and construction of the shoe.

Troubleshooting

Leather appears dry or stiff

Apply a quality leather conditioner to restore moisture and suppleness. Ensure the shoes are not stored in excessively dry or hot environments.

Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces

Ensure the sole is clean and free from debris. For persistent issues on very smooth surfaces, consider a professional inspection or consult a cobbler.

Minor scuffs or scratches on the leather

Use a leather cream or polish matching the shoe's color to buff out minor marks. For deeper scratches, a professional repair might be necessary.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the quality and appearance of your leather trainers:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the leather with a slightly damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  2. Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner periodically (e.g., every few months) to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking.
  3. Protection: Use a waterproofing spray suitable for leather to protect against moisture and stains, especially if frequently exposed to wet conditions.
  4. Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
