FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for sports activities?
The Michael Kors Keating trainers are designed for fashion and casual wear. While they have a rubber outsole for grip, they are not specialized athletic shoes and may not provide the necessary support or cushioning for intense sports.
How do I clean white leather without discoloration?
Use a soft, damp cloth and mild soap or a dedicated white leather cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. Always test cleaning products on a small, hidden area first. Allow to air dry naturally.
What does 'Leather Working Group Gold- or Silver-certification' mean?
This certification indicates that the tanneries supplying the leather meet high standards for environmental performance, including energy consumption, water usage, and waste management.
Do these trainers fit true to size?
Yes, the product description states that these trainers fit true to size. It is recommended to order your usual shoe size.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the rubber outsole offers some protection, the leather upper is not inherently waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain and to treat them with a waterproof spray for added protection.
How often should I condition the leather?
Condition the leather every 3-6 months, depending on wear and climate. More frequent conditioning may be needed if you live in a dry climate or wear the shoes frequently.
What is the outsole made of?
The outsole is made of rubber, providing durability and traction.
Troubleshooting
Leather scuffs easily.
Minor scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft cloth. For deeper scuffs, use a white leather repair crayon or touch-up paint, ensuring it matches the exact shade of white. Apply a leather conditioner afterward.
Shoes feel stiff initially.
This is common with new leather products. Wear the shoes around the house for short periods to break them in. Applying a leather conditioner can also help soften the material.
Laces show signs of wear.
Replacement laces are readily available. Ensure you purchase laces of a similar length and material to maintain the shoe's aesthetic.
