Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Setting up your Brodin Mid Trainers is straightforward:
- Unpack: Remove the trainers from their packaging.
- Lace Up: Fully unlace the trainers, then slide your foot in. Adjust the `lace fastening` to achieve a comfortable, secure fit. Ensure the laces are snug but not overly tight to allow for natural foot movement.
- Break-in: Like most leather footwear, a short break-in period may be beneficial for the leather to mold perfectly to your feet. Wear them for shorter periods initially if needed.
Compatibility
These trainers are highly compatible with a wide range of casual and smart-casual attire. They pair well with:
- Jeans (dark wash, light wash, distressed)
- Chinos or Khakis
- Casual trousers
- Shorts (for a more fashion-forward casual look)
- T-shirts, sweaters, casual shirts
Care
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your `premium dark brown leather upper`, follow these care instructions:
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe off dirt and dust with a soft, dry cloth after each wear.
- Deep Cleaning: For more stubborn dirt, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild leather cleaner. Apply gently in a circular motion, then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth.
- Conditioning: Apply a high-quality leather conditioner every few months, or as needed, to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking. Follow the conditioner product instructions carefully.
- Polishing: For enhanced shine and protection, use a dark brown leather polish. Apply sparingly and buff with a soft brush or cloth.
- Water Protection: Consider applying a leather-specific water and stain protector spray to guard against moisture and spills.
- Drying: If your trainers get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can damage the leather.
- Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
