FAQs

How do I determine my correct UK size?

Refer to the product's sizing chart, which usually includes measurements in centimeters or inches. It's also helpful to measure your foot length and compare it with the provided size guide. Consider trying them on if possible, as fit can vary.

Are these trainers waterproof?

The Apex Trainers are made from leather and rubber and offer some protection against light moisture. However, they are not fully waterproof and are best avoided in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage to the leather.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the leather, stitching, and sole construction. Always clean them by hand using the methods outlined in the care section.

What is the warranty period for these trainers?

Please refer to the retailer's or manufacturer's warranty information provided at the time of purchase for specific details on the warranty period and coverage.

How should I store my Apex Trainers when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees is highly recommended to help maintain their shape and prevent creasing. Keep them in their original box or a breathable dust bag.

Are the materials sustainable?

The product information states 100% Tumbled Leather and 100% Rubber Sole. For specific details on the sustainability of the materials or manufacturing processes, please consult Represent's official website or customer service.

What does 'Handmade in Portugal' signify?

This indicates that the trainers have been manufactured with a focus on traditional craftsmanship and quality control in Portugal, a region known for its skilled footwear production.

Troubleshooting

Leather creasing significantly

Some creasing is natural with tumbled leather. To minimize it, ensure proper fit, use shoe trees when not in use, and condition the leather regularly.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces

Ensure the rubber soles are clean. If the issue persists, especially on very smooth surfaces, consider a traction-enhancing spray specifically designed for footwear soles.

Stitching appears loose

Inspect the stitching carefully. If a thread is genuinely loose and not part of the design, contact customer support. Minor imperfections due to handmade nature might occur.

Discoloration of leather

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals. Clean gently with a damp cloth and use a leather conditioner to restore color and moisture.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Clean the tumbled leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the leather. For stubborn dirt, a dedicated leather cleaner can be used sparingly.
  • Conditioning: To keep the leather supple and prevent cracking, use a quality leather conditioner periodically. Apply a small amount with a clean cloth and buff gently.
  • Soles: The rubber outsole can be cleaned with a damp cloth or a soft brush. Ensure any mud or debris is removed regularly.
  • Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape. It is recommended to store them in their original box or a dust bag.
  • Weather: While leather offers some protection, these trainers are not designed for heavy rain or extreme weather conditions. Consider using a water-repellent spray suitable for leather if you anticipate exposure to moisture.
