FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running or gym workouts?
While they have an athletic design and offer comfort, the Boss Saturn Trainers are primarily designed for daily wear and leisure activities. They are not specifically engineered for high-performance running or intensive gym workouts, where specialized footwear would be more appropriate.
How should I clean the faux nappa leather sections?
For faux nappa leather, gently wipe the surface with a soft, slightly damp cloth. For more persistent marks, you can use a small amount of mild soap solution or a cleaning product specifically designed for synthetic leather. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
Do these trainers come in other colors or sizes?
Yes, the Boss Saturn series is typically available in a range of colors and sizes. Please check the product listings for availability of other variants.
What does the 'odour-control lining' do?
The odour-control lining is designed to inhibit the growth of bacteria that cause foot odor, helping to keep your trainers fresher for longer and improve overall foot hygiene during daily wear.
Is the sizing true to fit?
Boss trainers generally run true to size, but fit can vary slightly between individuals. We recommend referring to any size guides provided by the retailer and considering your typical UK shoe size. If you are between sizes, it is often advisable to go for the larger size.
Can I put these trainers in a washing machine?
No, it is not recommended to put these trainers in a washing machine. The mixed materials, including suede and faux nappa leather, can be damaged by machine washing. Always follow the spot-cleaning and air-drying instructions outlined in the 'Care' section.
Troubleshooting
Laces frequently come undone.
Ensure you are using a double knot for added security. Over time, laces can become smoother; consider replacing them with new ones if the issue persists.
Trainer feels tight or uncomfortable after extended wear.
Adjust the lacing pattern to relieve pressure points. If discomfort continues, ensure you have the correct size; fit can vary slightly between models and brands. Consider wearing thinner socks initially.
Trainer develops an odor despite the odour-control lining.
While the lining helps, prolonged use without proper aeration can lead to odor. Remove insoles after wear to allow them and the shoe interior to air out completely. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside overnight.
Suede trims appear matted or dirty.
Use a specialized suede brush to gently brush the suede in one direction to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, a suede eraser can be effective, followed by brushing. Avoid water on suede if possible.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions ### Setup The Boss Saturn Trainers feature a traditional lace-up fastening system. Before your first wear, adjust the laces to achieve a snug yet comfortable fit. Ensure the tongue is centered and the heel is properly seated within the shoe. ### Compatibility These trainers are designed for daily wear and can be paired with a wide range of casual and smart-casual attire. They are suitable for walking, commuting, and general leisure activities. The durable rubber outsole provides reliable traction on various common surfaces, including pavement, concrete, and indoor flooring. ### Care Proper care is essential to maintain the appearance and longevity of your trainers, given their mixed material construction (100% Polyester upper, suede trims, faux nappa leather sections). * General Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently remove dirt and dust from the entire shoe surface. * Suede Areas: For suede trims, use a specialized suede brush to lift dirt and restore the nap. Avoid excessive moisture on suede. * Faux Nappa Leather: Wipe gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, use a mild leather cleaner specifically designed for synthetic materials. * Mesh Sections: A soft brush or a cloth dampened with a mild soap solution can be used to clean mesh. Allow to air dry completely. * Outsole: Clean the rubber outsole with a stiff brush and water to remove any accumulated grime and maintain grip. * Drying: Always allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can damage materials. * Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
