FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?

While the 'Sprinter' name suggests a sporty origin, these trainers are primarily designed for fashion and casual wear. They offer comfort for walking but lack the specialized support and cushioning required for intense athletic activities.

How do I ensure I get the right size?

Refer to the product's size guide. It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the provided chart. For Dsquared2 trainers, sizes can sometimes run small or large, so checking reviews or consulting customer service for specific fit advice is helpful.

What does 'distressed vintage effect' mean for the appearance?

This means the trainers are intentionally made to look slightly worn, aged, or weathered. This can include variations in color, subtle scuffing, or faded areas, contributing to a unique, pre-loved aesthetic.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the leather can be treated for water resistance, prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended. The distressed finish might also be affected by excessive moisture. It's best to avoid wearing them in very wet conditions.

Where are these trainers made?

These Dsquared2 Sprinter Trainers are made in Italy, reflecting the brand's commitment to high-quality European craftsmanship.

How do I clean the Dsquared2 logo and monogram?

Clean these areas gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scrubbing, as this could damage the printed details.

What other colors or styles are available in the Sprinter range?

The Sprinter range often includes various colorways and material combinations. Please check the brand's official website or retailer listings for the most current selection, which may include grey, multicolor, and other variations.

Troubleshooting

Scuff marks on the distressed finish

The distressed effect is intentional. Minor scuffs can sometimes blend into the existing aesthetic. For significant marks, consult a professional leather repair service or a specialized shoe care guide for distressing techniques.

Leather feels stiff

This can happen if the shoes have been stored for a long time or exposed to dry conditions. Apply a leather conditioner sparingly and wear the shoes to help them soften and mold to your feet.

Discoloration on the sole

Soles can pick up dirt and discoloration from various surfaces. Clean the sole with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher stains, a magic eraser or specialized sole cleaner might be effective, but test on an inconspicuous area first.

Laces fraying

Fraying laces can be a sign of wear. They can be carefully trimmed with scissors. Consider replacing them with new Dsquared2 laces or a similar style if the fraying is extensive.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For stubborn marks on the leather, a dedicated leather cleaner can be used sparingly. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Protection: Consider using a waterproof and stain-repellent spray designed for leather to protect against the elements.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag, to maintain their shape and prevent dust accumulation.
  • Conditioning: Periodically use a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent cracking, especially if exposed to dry conditions.
