FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Train 89 generally fits true to standard UK sizing for adult males.
Can I use these for running?
While they are inspired by 1970s running shoes, they are designed for casual lifestyle use rather than professional athletic performance.
How do I clean the suede portions?
Use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt and a suede eraser for light scuffs. Always brush in the direction of the nap.
Is the leather upper waterproof?
No, leather and suede are naturally porous. It is recommended to use a protective spray to increase water resistance.
Does the shoe provide arch support?
The trainer features a stable, sturdy sole with a TPU heel insert that offers moderate support suitable for daily activities.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on the suede panels
Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift dirt; avoid using water directly on the suede.
Creasing in the leather upper
Use a shoe tree when not in use to help maintain the original shape and minimize deep creasing.
Scuffs on the sole
Use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution to wipe down the sole edges and remove surface marks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Train 89 trainers last, proper care is essential. Since the upper is a mix of leather and suede, avoid machine washing. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the suede sections. For leather parts, a clean, damp cloth is usually sufficient for surface maintenance. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, keeping them away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can crack the leather or warp the shape. For protection, consider applying a suede-safe water and stain repellent spray before the first wear.
