Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear suede trainers in heavy rain, as moisture can damage the material and cause color transfer. Consider using a waterproofing spray for protection against light moisture.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained

Use a suede brush to gently lift dirt. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow product instructions. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially

This is common with new leather and suede. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to break them in gradually. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in period.

Laces become worn or dirty

Laces can be replaced with standard trainer laces. Clean them by hand-washing with mild detergent or by placing them in a mesh laundry bag and washing on a delicate cycle.

Color transfer from suede

This can happen in wet conditions. Ensure suede is treated with a waterproofing spray. Avoid wearing in heavy rain and keep away from light-colored clothing when new.
