FAQs

What materials are these trainers made of?

The Heritage Aera trainers are constructed with a mix of suede, oxford fabric, and bonded leather panels. They also feature decorative contrast nubuck detailing.

How should I clean the suede parts of the trainers?

Use a specialized suede brush to clean off dry dirt. For stains, a dedicated suede cleaner is recommended. It is best to avoid getting the suede wet.

Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?

These trainers are designed primarily for casual wear. While they offer comfort for walking, they are not specifically designed for high-impact athletic activities like running.

What is the sole made of and does it offer good grip?

The trainers feature a rubber outsole with integrated heel support, designed to provide reliable traction on most common surfaces.

How do I ensure I get the right fit?

Refer to the sizing guide for UK adult foot sizes. It is recommended to try them on if possible, or carefully measure your foot to match the provided size chart.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

It is advisable to avoid wearing these trainers in heavy rain or wet conditions, particularly due to the suede material which can be easily damaged by water and may cause color transfer.

What does 'dual-compound EVA midsole' mean for comfort?

This refers to a midsole made of two different densities of EVA foam, engineered to provide a balance of cushioning and support for comfortable wear throughout the day.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or matted.

Use a clean, dry suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow its instructions carefully.

Laces are worn or frayed.

Replace the laces with a new pair of similar length and material. You can clean existing laces by hand-washing them with mild soap and water.

Trainer feels stiff or uncomfortable.

Ensure the correct size has been selected. New trainers may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow them to conform to your feet.

Color transfer from suede to socks or trousers.

This can occur with new suede items, especially if they get wet. Ensure the trainers are dry. If the issue persists, consider using a suede protector spray, testing it on an inconspicuous area first.
