FAQs
Are the Prada Prax trainers waterproof?
While the leather is durable, these trainers are not waterproof. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain to prevent water damage to the leather and stitching.
Can I replace the original insoles with my own orthotics?
Yes, because the Prada Prax trainers feature removable leather-covered insoles, you can easily swap them for custom orthotic inserts.
How do I choose the correct size?
These trainers follow standard UK adult sizing. We recommend choosing your usual dress shoe or trainer size.
What is the height of the lug tread?
The sole features a 25 mm lug tread, providing a solid platform for grip and height.
How often should I clean the leather?
For optimal maintenance, wipe them down after each use to remove dirt and apply a conditioner once every three months.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the Prada Prax is designed as a fashion trainer. While comfortable for walking and casual wear, they do not provide the technical support required for high-intensity running.
Troubleshooting
Creasing at the toe box
This is common with leather footwear. Use shoe trees when not in use to help the leather maintain its shape and minimize deep creases.
Insole sliding or shifting
Remove the insole, ensure the interior of the shoe is clean and free of debris, then re-seat the insole firmly.
Scuff marks on the leather
Use a matching leather cream or professional polish to buff out light scuffs and restore the surface color.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Prada Prax trainers maintain their aesthetic and structural integrity, adhere to these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to remove surface dust. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner and a soft brush, followed by a light buffing.
- Storage: Always store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the leather and weaken adhesives.
- Conditioning: Apply a high-quality leather conditioner every few months to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking.
- Insole Maintenance: If the removable insoles become damp, take them out of the shoes to air dry completely before re-inserting.
- Compatibility: These trainers fit standard UK sizing; however, since they are leather, they may have a slight break-in period where the material conforms to the shape of your foot.
