FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The California 78 EX trainers are designed for casual wear and light activities. They do not offer the specialized cushioning and support required for serious running.

How do I clean the suede material?

Use a dedicated suede brush for dry dirt and a suede eraser for stains. Avoid water and harsh cleaners. A suede protectant spray can help prevent future stains.

What is the best way to maintain the shape of the trainers?

Using shoe trees when storing the trainers is recommended to help them maintain their original shape over time.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While a suede protectant spray can offer some resistance, suede is not ideal for wet conditions. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain to prevent damage and staining.

What sizes are available?

These trainers are available in a range of adult UK sizes. Please refer to the product listing for the specific size chart and available options.

What is the heel height?

The trainers feature a flat heel, designed for comfort and stability during everyday wear.

What is the primary material used for the upper?

The upper is crafted from premium suede, providing a distinctive texture and aesthetic.

Troubleshooting

Suede becoming stiff or dirty

Gently brush with a suede brush to remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, use a suede eraser, and follow up with a suede protectant spray.

Slightly tight fit

Wear the shoes with thicker socks for a short period, or use a shoe stretcher if the tightness is persistent. Ensure laces are adjusted properly.

Color fading

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Store shoes in a dark, cool place when not in use.

Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces

Ensure the soles are clean. If wear is significant, consider consulting a cobbler for sole inspection or replacement options.
