FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?
No, the Fred Perry Baseline Trainers are designed for casual wear and everyday comfort. They are not intended for athletic performance.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner. Avoid soaking the shoes.
What material are the laces made of?
The laces are made from recycled spun polyester.
How should I store these trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees is recommended to help maintain their shape.
What does the embroidered Laurel Wreath signify?
The embroidered Laurel Wreath is an iconic hallmark of the Fred Perry brand, representing its heritage and classic style.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the rubber sole offers some protection, the leather upper is not inherently waterproof. It's advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain and consider using a water-repellent spray suitable for leather.
What is the fit like?
These trainers generally offer a standard fit. It is recommended to consult a size guide or try them on if possible to ensure the best fit.
Troubleshooting
Leather creasing excessively
This is natural with leather. To minimize, ensure proper fit, use shoe trees when not in use, and condition the leather regularly.
Discoloration on leather
Wipe gently with a damp cloth. If persistent, use a dedicated leather cleaner and follow with a conditioner. Avoid prolonged exposure to sun or strong artificial light.
Sole becoming detached
Contact customer support or a professional shoe repair service. This may indicate a manufacturing defect or significant wear.
Laces fraying
Replace laces with new ones. Ensure they are tied comfortably and not overly tight to reduce stress.
