FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for athletic activities?
The Astra Leather Trainers are designed for everyday comfort and casual wear. They are not intended for rigorous athletic activities or sports that require specialized footwear.
How do I ensure I select the correct UK size?
Refer to the Jones Bootmaker sizing chart. These trainers are listed in UK adult women's sizes. It is recommended to measure your foot length for accuracy.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
While the leather is durable, they are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may damage the leather.
What does 'Leather Working Group-certified' mean?
It signifies that the leather used has been produced in a tannery audited and certified by the Leather Working Group for its environmental best practices.
How often should I condition the leather?
Condition the leather every 3-6 months, or more frequently if the shoes are worn often or exposed to dry conditions, to keep it supple.
Can I wear these trainers with formal outfits?
Their refined design allows them to complement smart-casual outfits, such as tailored trousers or dresses, but they are generally too casual for formal business attire.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dry or stiff
Apply a quality leather conditioner to restore moisture and flexibility. Ensure you are using a product suitable for the type of leather.
Slight scuff marks on the leather
Gently buff the scuff with a soft, dry cloth. For more persistent marks, a matching color shoe polish or cream may be used sparingly.
Fit feels too loose
Consider using insoles or thicker socks for a snugger fit. The relaxed fit is intentional for comfort; if a tighter fit is preferred, this model may not be suitable.
