FAQs
What material are the Ultimate 81 EX trainers made from?
These trainers feature a primary construction of suede with textile elements.
Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?
No, the Ultimate 81 EX trainers are designed for casual wear and everyday comfort, not for high-impact athletic activities.
How should I clean my suede trainers?
Use a suede brush for dry dirt and a specialized suede cleaner for stains. Always allow them to air dry away from heat and direct sunlight.
What is the closure type for these trainers?
They feature a traditional lacing closure for a secure and adjustable fit.
What does 'EX' stand for in Ultimate 81 EX?
The 'EX' typically denotes an enhanced or updated version of the original model, often incorporating refinements in design or materials.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the slip-resistant sole offers some grip, suede is not inherently waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the material.
What kind of socks are best to wear with these trainers?
Ankle socks or no-show socks are commonly worn to maintain a clean look, but any comfortable socks suitable for trainers will work.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained.
Use a suede brush to remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, apply a suede cleaner sparingly with a soft cloth and allow to air dry completely. Repeat if necessary.
Laces are worn or damaged.
Replace laces with standard trainer laces of a similar length and color. Ensure they are threaded correctly through the eyelets.
Fit feels too tight or loose.
Adjust the lacing pattern. Loosen the laces for more room or tighten them for a snugger fit. Ensure the heel is properly seated.
Sole shows signs of wear.
Regular cleaning of the sole can help maintain grip. For significant wear, professional sole repair might be considered, though often replacement is more practical.
