FAQs

What material are the A BATHING APE Sta Trainers made from?

The main upper material is patent leather, with a textile lining and a rubber outsole.

How should I clean the patent leather on these trainers?

Gently wipe the patent leather with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a cleaner specifically designed for patent leather. Always buff dry with a clean, soft cloth.

Are these trainers suitable for athletic activities?

These trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and fashion. They do not offer the specialized support needed for intense athletic activities.

What is the sole height of these trainers?

The sole height is approximately 3 cm.

How do I ensure I get the right fit?

Refer to the brand's sizing guide and compare it with your usual UK shoe size. Consider the low, rounded silhouette and adjust if you prefer more toe room.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the rubber sole offers some protection, patent leather is best maintained in dry conditions. Prolonged exposure to moisture can affect the material's integrity and shine.

What do the logos on the tongue and heel represent?

The applied star and "Bape STA" logos are signature design elements of the A BATHING APE® brand, indicating authenticity and style.

Troubleshooting

Patent leather losing its shine

Use a specialized patent leather cleaner or a mild, damp cloth. Buff gently with a soft, dry cloth to restore shine. Avoid over-polishing.

Scuff marks on the patent leather

For minor scuffs, try a specialized patent leather cleaner. For deeper marks, a professional shoe repair service may be needed.

Interior feels uncomfortable

Ensure socks are appropriate for the season and material. If persistent discomfort occurs, consider using insoles for added cushioning, ensuring they do not alter the fit significantly.

Sole appears worn

Regularly inspect the rubber outsole for wear and tear. If significant wear is present, consult a shoe repair specialist for potential sole replacement or repair.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the patent leather surfaces with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and light marks. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the glossy finish.
  • Drying: If the trainers get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources, as this can cause the leather to crack or warp.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a dust bag to protect the patent leather from scratches and scuffs. It is advisable to store them upright to maintain their shape.
