FAQs
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is made of premium suede leather.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the suede material is not inherently waterproof and should be protected from excessive moisture.
How do I clean the suede material?
Use a dedicated suede brush for regular cleaning and a suede protector spray. For stains, a suede eraser or professional cleaning is recommended.
What is included with the purchase?
The trainers come with a dust bag, a shoe box, and extra laces.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
These are standard width trainers. The lace-up closure allows for some adjustability, but they may not be ideal for very wide feet.
What is the origin of these trainers?
These trainers are made in Italy.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear these trainers in wet weather as water can damage the suede material and cause staining.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears matted or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, try a suede eraser.
Scuff marks on the rubber sole
Clean the rubber sole with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher marks, a magic eraser can sometimes be effective, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
Water spots on suede
Allow the shoe to dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the texture. If a stain remains, consult a professional.
Color transfer from suede
This can happen with new suede. Ensure the shoes are well-treated with a protector spray. Wear darker socks initially.
