FAQs
What material are the Saint Laurent Lewis Trainers made from?
The trainers are crafted from 100% supple calfskin leather.
Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?
No, these trainers are designed for everyday wear and light activity. They are not intended for high-impact sports or running.
How should I clean the leather?
Wipe with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner. Avoid soaking the shoes.
What does 'elasticized heel counter' mean?
This means the back part of the shoe around the heel has an elastic component, which helps to provide a snug, comfortable, and secure fit without being restrictive.
Do these trainers come in other colors?
The product information indicates these specific trainers are black. Other variants may exist, but this guide focuses on the black calfskin leather model.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
Refer to standard UK sizing. It is recommended to try them on if possible, or consult any available sizing charts from the retailer to ensure a proper fit.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the leather is durable, it is not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain. Using a leather waterproofing spray can offer some protection.
Troubleshooting
Leather creasing significantly
Creasing is natural with leather. To minimize, ensure proper fit, use shoe trees when not in use, and avoid over-tightening laces. Gentle conditioning can help maintain leather's suppleness.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces
The rubber sole offers good traction, but may be less effective on very wet or polished surfaces. Ensure the sole is clean. For added grip on specific surfaces, consider professional sole treatments if needed.
Difficulty adjusting fit
Loosen the laces completely before putting the shoes on and re-tighten gradually to achieve a comfortable, secure fit. The elasticized heel counter contributes to a snug feel without overtightening.
