FAQs
What is the best way to clean these trainers?
For best results, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and a suede eraser for minor scuffs. Avoid water saturation and never machine wash.
Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?
The California 78 EX trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and comfort. They are not recommended for intense athletic activities or running.
How should I protect the suede material?
It is recommended to use a suede protector spray. Apply it before the first wear and reapply periodically, especially after cleaning or exposure to the elements.
What does 'EX' stand for in California 78 EX?
The 'EX' typically denotes an enhanced or updated version of the original model, often incorporating updated materials or design tweaks for modern wearability.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While a suede protector can offer some resistance, suede is not ideal for heavy rain or wet conditions. It's best to avoid prolonged exposure to moisture to prevent damage and staining.
What is the heel type and toe type?
These trainers feature a flat heel and a round toe, consistent with classic trainer designs.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, try a suede eraser.
Shoes feel slightly tight
Wear them with thicker socks around the house for a short period to allow them to mold to your feet. A shoe stretcher can also be used cautiously.
Water stains on suede
Allow the shoes to dry naturally away from heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to try and lift the stain. Prevention with a protector spray is key.
