FAQs

What material are these trainers made from?

These trainers feature a suede upper, offering a premium look and feel.

Are these suitable for running?

The California 78 EX is designed as a lifestyle and casual wear shoe. While comfortable for walking, they are not intended for intense athletic running.

How should I clean the cream and grey suede?

Use a suede brush for dry dirt and a suede eraser for marks. For tougher stains, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by air drying. Avoid machine washing or soaking.

What does 'EX' stand for in California 78 EX?

The 'EX' typically denotes an updated or enhanced version of the original model, often incorporating modern refinements in comfort or design.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet conditions as water can stain and damage the material. Using a suede protector spray can offer some protection.

What is the heel type?

These trainers feature a flat heel, providing stability and comfort for everyday wear.

What type of toe do these shoes have?

They have a round toe, which provides ample room and comfort for the toes.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained

Use a specialized suede brush to gently brush away dry dirt. For stains, use a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth. Allow to dry completely before wearing.

Shoe feels too tight

Ensure you have the correct size. If slightly tight, wearing them with thicker socks for a short period can help stretch them. Avoid wearing in wet conditions as this can damage the suede.

Laces are worn out

Replace laces with standard trainer laces of a similar length. You can find replacements online or at shoe repair shops.
