FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
The trainers feature an adjustable lace-up fastening which allows for some customization of the fit. However, they are designed with a standard width, so individuals with very wide feet might find them snug.
How do I re-apply the water-repellent treatment?
After cleaning and drying your trainers, use a dedicated suede waterproofing spray. Hold the can at the recommended distance (usually 6-8 inches) and apply an even coat. Allow to dry completely before wearing. Reapply periodically, especially after cleaning or exposure to significant moisture.
Can I wear these in heavy rain?
The trainers have a water-repellent suede upper, which is suitable for light moisture or drizzle. They are not designed for heavy rain or wet conditions, as prolonged exposure to water can damage the suede and potentially soak through.
What is the benefit of the double side zip?
The double side zip, along with the lace-up fastening, offers two points of adjustment. The zips provide a quick and easy way to put on and take off the trainers without needing to untie the laces every time, adding significant convenience.
How long does the memory foam insole typically last?
Memory foam insoles generally provide cushioning for a significant period of regular use. However, their effectiveness can diminish over time. If you notice a loss of cushioning, it may be time to replace the insoles or consider a new pair of shoes.
What type of socks are best to wear with these trainers?
Given the leather lining, breathable socks made from cotton or moisture-wicking synthetic blends are recommended to keep your feet comfortable and dry.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty zipping the side zip
Ensure no fabric from the shoe's lining or upper is caught in the zip. Try wiggling the zip gently. If the zip is stiff, a small amount of graphite from a pencil can sometimes help lubricate it.
Suede looking dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the texture and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.
Insole feels uncomfortable after prolonged wear
Ensure you have the correct size. The memory foam may need a break-in period. If discomfort persists, consider using thin, supportive insoles designed for trainers.
Shoes feel slightly tight
Adjust the lace-up fastening to loosen the fit. Wear the shoes around the house for a short period to allow the memory foam to conform to your foot shape.
