FAQs
What are the main materials used in the Autry Medalist Low trainers?
The upper is primarily made of 80% leather and 20% suede. The lining consists of 40% leather, 50% cotton terry, and 10% nylon, with a 100% rubber sole.
How should I clean the leather parts of the trainers?
Use a slightly damp cloth to wipe the leather clean. For deeper care, apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for footwear.
What is the recommended way to care for the suede sections?
Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush to maintain its nap and remove surface dirt. Consider using a suede protector spray for added defense against stains and moisture.
What is the sole height of these trainers?
The sole height ranges from 2.5 cm to 3.5 cm.
Are these trainers suitable for sports activities?
These trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and lifestyle purposes, inspired by tennis aesthetics. They are not intended for high-impact sports or athletic performance.
What does the 'Medalist Low' designation mean?
'Medalist' refers to the specific design series by Autry, often evoking a vintage sports aesthetic. 'Low' indicates the low-top profile of the trainer.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the rubber sole offers some protection, the leather and suede materials are not inherently waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve their condition.
Troubleshooting
Suede becoming stiff or matted
Gently brush the suede with a suede brush in multiple directions to restore its texture. Avoid using water on suede.
Leather showing creases or minor scuffs
Minor creases are natural with leather. For scuffs, a leather conditioner or cream polish of the appropriate color can help minimize their appearance.
Discoloration on materials
Ensure the shoes are kept away from direct sunlight and harsh chemicals. Refer to specific cleaning instructions for leather and suede to address discoloration.
Soles losing grip
Wipe the rubber soles with a damp cloth to remove any debris that might be affecting traction. If wear is significant, professional inspection may be needed.
