FAQs
What materials are used for the upper?
The upper material can be leather, nubuck, or suede, depending on the specific colorway of the trainer.
Are these shoes suitable for skateboarding?
While designed with durability in mind and featuring an abrasion-resistant outsole, they are primarily marketed as trainers for casual wear. For serious skateboarding, consider specialized skate shoes.
How do I clean the suede/nubuck versions?
Use a suede brush to remove dry dirt and then a dedicated suede cleaner. For tougher stains, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but allow to air dry completely.
What is the purpose of the foam-padded collar and tongue?
The padding is designed to provide extra comfort and support around the ankle and top of the foot, reducing irritation and enhancing the overall wearing experience.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, washing machines are not recommended as they can damage the materials, construction, and adhesives of the trainers.
What does 'wraparound cup sole' mean?
This refers to a type of sole construction where the rubber wraps up around the sides of the shoe, providing enhanced durability, support, and stability.
Is this shoe available in other colors or sizes?
This guide specifically covers the Black, Leather, Size 14 UK variant. Other colorways and sizes may be available through different product listings or retailers.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear with thinner socks or try loosening the laces. Leather may stretch slightly over time with wear.
Laces are fraying
Replace the laces with a new pair of similar length and material.
Slight discoloration on leather
Use a leather cleaner and conditioner specifically designed for black leather. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
Reduced grip on the outsole
Clean the rubber outsole thoroughly with water and a brush to remove any embedded dirt or debris.
