FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for formal occasions?
While the Harper Suede Trainers offer a sophisticated look, they are best suited for smart-casual and casual occasions. They are not typically recommended for formal events.
How do I choose the correct size?
Refer to the size guide provided by Oswin Hyde, usually based on UK or EU sizing. The Harper trainers are available in UK men's sizes. It is recommended to try them on if possible, as fit can vary.
Can I wear these trainers in the rain?
It is not recommended to wear suede trainers in wet or rainy conditions. Suede is susceptible to water damage, staining, and texture changes. Always use a protector spray for light moisture resistance.
What is the difference between suede and smooth leather trainers?
Suede is a type of leather with a napped or fuzzy finish, offering a softer, more casual aesthetic. Smooth leather has a sleek, finished surface, generally perceived as more formal and often easier to clean.
How often should I reapply suede protector spray?
It is generally recommended to reapply suede protector spray every few months, or after significant cleaning or exposure to moisture, to ensure continued protection.
What material are the soles made of?
The product information does not specify the sole material. Typically, trainers of this style feature rubber or synthetic soles for durability and grip.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, try a suede eraser, applying minimal pressure.
Water stains on suede
Allow the trainers to dry naturally away from heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the texture. For persistent stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner.
Creasing on the toe box
Use shoe trees made of cedar wood to help maintain the shape of the trainers and absorb moisture. Avoid bending the shoes excessively when walking.
Discoloration after cleaning
Ensure you are using products specifically designed for suede. Test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh chemicals.

- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a dust bag, to protect them from dust and prevent creasing.
