FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
These trainers are designed for casual wear and light activities. They do not offer the specialized support or cushioning required for serious running.
How do I clean the grey suede?
For grey suede, use a suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first and avoid excessive water.
What material is the sole made of?
The sole is made of 100% rubber, providing good grip and durability.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear suede trainers in wet weather, as moisture can damage the material and lead to staining. Consider using a suede protector spray to offer some resistance.
What does 'Upland' refer to in the product name?

Troubleshooting
Suede material looks dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions.
Laces are worn out
Replace laces with standard shoelaces. Ensure the new laces are of a similar length and material.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the soles are clean. If the wear pattern on the sole is significantly diminished, consider a shoe repair professional for sole replacement or a grip enhancement.
Shoes feel tight after initial wear
Suede can stretch slightly over time. Wear them for short periods initially. If still uncomfortable, consider thicker socks for a temporary tighter fit or consult a cobbler for stretching options.
