FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
The EC1 Sneaker is designed as a fashion trainer for everyday wear and general activities. It is not intended for high-impact sports or athletic training.
How should I clean the white leather?
Use a soft, damp cloth for general cleaning. For more stubborn dirt, a specialized leather cleaner designed for white leather can be used, but always test on a small, hidden area first.
What is the best way to store these trainers?
Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a dust bag, to maintain their shape and protect the leather.
Do these trainers come in other colours?
The EC1 Sneaker series includes various colourways. Please check available product listings for other options, such as black.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
It is recommended to check the brand's sizing guide or try the trainers on if possible, as sizing can vary between styles and brands.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While leather offers some protection, it is advisable to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. Using a leather protector spray can enhance water resistance.
Troubleshooting
Scuffs or minor marks on white leather
Gently clean with a soft, damp cloth. For persistent marks, use a dedicated leather cleaner for white leather, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Laces becoming dirty
Remove laces and hand wash them with mild soap and water, or replace them with new laces if heavily soiled.
Discomfort during initial wear
Leather may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow them to mould to your feet. Ensure correct sizing.
