FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
The Astra trainers feature a relaxed silhouette and comfort fit, which may accommodate wider feet better than a more structured shoe. However, they are not specifically designed as wide-fit shoes. We recommend trying them on if possible or checking customer reviews for fit feedback.
What does 'Leather Working Group-certified' mean?
Leather Working Group (LWG) certification signifies that the leather used has been produced in a way that is environmentally responsible. This includes managing water use, energy consumption, and waste, ensuring a more sustainable tanning process.
How should I break in my new leather trainers?
New leather shoes can sometimes feel stiff. We recommend wearing them for short periods initially, gradually increasing the duration as the leather softens and molds to your foot. Wearing them with socks similar to what you'd typically use can also help.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the leather is durable, these trainers are not waterproof. We advise avoiding prolonged exposure to heavy rain. Using a water-repellent spray can offer some protection against light moisture.
What is the best way to clean the soles?
The soles can typically be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn dirt, a soft brush can be used. Ensure the soles are dry before wearing the shoes again.
Do these trainers come in other colors besides black?
Based on the available product information, the Astra trainers are presented in black. It's advisable to check the retailer's website for any other available color options.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dry or stiff
Apply a suitable leather conditioner to restore moisture and suppleness. Ensure regular conditioning, especially in dry climates.
Minor scuffs or scratches on the leather
Use a leather cleaner or a colored leather balm that matches the shoe's color to buff out minor imperfections. For deeper scratches, professional repair might be needed.
Discomfort due to relaxed fit
Consider using insoles or arch supports for added comfort and structure, if needed. Ensure the correct size is being worn.
Slight odor inside the shoe
Allow shoes to air out completely between wears. Use a shoe deodorizer or baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors.
