FAQs

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is made of durable leather.

Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?

These trainers are designed for casual wear and everyday comfort. While they offer good grip and some cushioning, they are not specifically engineered for high-impact sports or performance running.

How should I clean the leather upper?

Wipe the leather gently with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh cleaning agents or abrasive materials. Leather conditioner can be used periodically to maintain the material's condition.

What is the sole made of?

The outsole is made of textured rubber, consisting of 90% standard rubber and 10% recycled rubber powder.

Do these trainers have good arch support?

The Baseshot Evo trainers feature an EVA midsole for cushioning and grip. They offer a balanced feel but may not provide significant built-in arch support for individuals requiring specialized orthopedic features. Consider aftermarket insoles if additional arch support is needed.

What does 'minimalist take' mean in the product description?

It refers to a design focused on simplicity, clean lines, and essential features, avoiding excessive ornamentation or complex design elements. It emphasizes a pared-back aesthetic.

How does the EVA midsole contribute to comfort?

The EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) midsole is lightweight and provides good shock absorption and cushioning, enhancing overall comfort during wear.

Troubleshooting

Leather appears dry or creased

Apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for footwear. Ensure the shoes are clean before conditioning.

Soles feel slippery on wet surfaces

Ensure the textured rubber outsole is clean. For significantly wet conditions, exercise caution as grip may be reduced.

Laces are difficult to tie or keep tied

Ensure laces are not worn or frayed. Consider replacing them or tying a double knot for extra security.

Discomfort during long periods of wear

Ensure the correct size is being worn. While designed for comfort, adding an aftermarket insole might provide additional cushioning if needed.
