FAQs
What are the primary materials used in the Rekord trainers?
The trainers primarily feature a suede upper with suede overlays and a leather lining. The sole is made of gum rubber.
Are these trainers suitable for sports activities?
No, the Rekord trainers are designed for casual wear. They are lightweight and comfortable for daily activities but do not offer the support or cushioning required for sports.
How should I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
Use a dedicated suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner is recommended, always tested on a hidden area first. Allow them to air dry naturally.
Will these trainers provide good grip?
The gum rubber sole is designed to provide good traction on dry, flat surfaces, suitable for everyday urban environments.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear suede trainers in wet weather as the material can easily stain and be damaged by water. Applying a suede protector spray can offer some resistance.
What is the main difference between the suede and leather variants mentioned?
The primary difference lies in the upper material. Suede variants offer a softer, textured look, while leather variants provide a smoother, more durable finish that is often easier to clean.
How do I maintain the shape of the trainers when not in use?
Using shoe trees made of cedar wood or simply stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
Troubleshooting
Suede looking flat or matted
Gently brush the suede with a suede brush in multiple directions to restore its texture and nap.
Marks on the gum sole
Try wiping the sole gently with a damp cloth or a magic eraser. Be careful not to scrub too hard on the upper materials.
Water stains on suede
Allow the shoes to dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush. For persistent marks, a suede cleaner may be necessary.
Fading color
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Store in a dark, dry place. Applying a color-protecting spray suitable for suede and leather can help.
