Product Information
Full details
The Slazenger Warrior Trainers are designed for adult males seeking a comfortable and stylish slip-on shoe for casual wear. They offer a trendy leather-look design with a focus on comfort through a foam insole and padded ankle collar, though their slip-on nature means they are best suited for everyday activities rather than high-intensity sports.

FAQs
Are these trainers made of genuine leather?
No, the Slazenger Warrior Trainers feature a 'leather-look' upper, which provides the aesthetic of leather without being genuine leather.
Can I use these trainers for sports or running?
These trainers are designed for casual wear and comfort, not for high-intensity sports, running, or rigorous athletic activities. For those purposes, we recommend dedicated sports footwear.
How do I clean my Slazenger Warrior Trainers?
For the leather-look upper, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Air dry away from direct heat. Avoid harsh chemicals. The foam insole can be spot cleaned if necessary.
Are they true to size?
Slazenger Warrior Trainers generally run true to standard UK men's sizing. We recommend ordering your usual shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider trying the next size up for comfort, especially given the padded design.
Do these trainers provide good arch support?
The trainers feature a foam insole designed for general comfort. While they offer cushioning, individuals requiring specific arch support may want to consider adding their own orthotic inserts.
Can women wear these trainers?
While marketed for men, anyone who finds the style appealing and can find their size in the UK men's sizing range can wear them. Please refer to sizing charts if converting from women's sizes.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have the correct size. Try wearing them with thinner socks initially. The 'leather-look' material may soften slightly with wear, but if they are genuinely too small, consider exchanging for a larger size. Info needed: (specific material flexibility).
Scuff marks or dirt on the leather-look upper.
Wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, use a small amount of mild soap diluted in water, then wipe clean with a separate damp cloth and dry immediately.
Foot odor develops after wear.
Allow trainers to air out thoroughly between uses. Consider using a foot powder or shoe deodorizer. If insoles are removable, take them out to air dry.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.
Ensure the soles are clean and free of debris. Be cautious on wet or highly polished surfaces. If the sole tread is significantly worn, the grip will be reduced.
Stitching or seams start to loosen.
For minor loose threads, carefully trim them with scissors. If seams are significantly separating, this may indicate a manufacturing defect. Info needed: (warranty information for defect).

Compatibility
- Gender: Designed for men.
- Age Group: Suitable for adults.
- Sizing: Available in standard UK adult male shoe sizes (e.g., UK 7, 8, 8.5, 9.5, 12, 13, 14). Ensure you select the correct size for a comfortable fit.

Care & Maintenance
Proper care will help maintain the appearance and prolong the life of your trainers.
- Regular Cleaning: For the leather-look upper, wipe down with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, as they can damage the material.
- Spot Cleaning Stains: Address stains as soon as possible. Use a soft brush or cloth with a small amount of diluted cleaner for stubborn spots.
- Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause the material to crack or deform.
- Odor Control: If odors develop, remove insoles (if removable) and air them out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or baking soda to absorb smells.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. You may use shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Harsh Conditions: While durable for casual wear, avoid exposing them to excessive moisture, mud, or abrasive surfaces to prevent premature wear.
