FAQs

Are these sneakers true to size?

The Autry Medalist generally fits standard sizing, though the padded collar provides a snug, secure feeling around the heel.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No. Machine washing will damage the leather and suede materials. Always clean by hand using appropriate leather care products.

What is the purpose of the micro-perforated toe?

The perforations are designed to increase ventilation, keeping your feet cooler throughout the day.

Are the insoles removable?

Yes, the 2 cm raised leather insole is designed to be removable if you wish to use your own custom orthotics.

How should I store them to prevent yellowing?

Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, utilizing the provided fabric bag.

Can these be used for running or gym exercise?

While durable, these are fashion sneakers inspired by tennis shoes and lack the specific technical support required for high-impact sports.

Troubleshooting

Creasing in the leather toe box

This is a natural occurrence in premium leather sneakers; use cedar shoe trees when not wearing to help maintain the shape and reduce deep creases.

Suede sections looking matted

Gently use a soft-bristled suede brush in one direction to restore the texture and remove surface debris.

Difficulty maintaining the white finish

Keep a leather-safe 'sneaker eraser' or wipes on hand to spot-clean small scuffs before they set into the leather grain.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Autry Medalist sneakers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:

  1. Initial Protection: Before the first wear, apply a leather and suede-safe water-repellent spray to protect against light stains.
  2. Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth for the leather sections. For the suede inserts, utilize a specialized suede brush to lift dirt and maintain the nap.
  3. Storage: Always store the sneakers in the provided custom fabric bag when not in use to avoid dust accumulation and light exposure that could yellow the leather.
  4. Insole Maintenance: If the removable 2 cm insole becomes compressed over time, it may be replaced with a thin orthotic insert to maintain the original fit and feel.
  5. Lace Care: Hand wash the flat cotton laces in mild soapy water if they become discolored, ensuring they are completely air-dried before re-threading.
