FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for walking long distances?

These trainers are designed for casual use and short-to-medium walking distances. For extensive trekking, consider dedicated athletic footwear.

How do I determine the correct size?

These shoes follow standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to choose your typical shoe size for the best fit.

Is the material waterproof?

The faux leather is water-resistant, offering protection in light rain, but it is not intended for submersion or heavy rain conditions.

Can I use these for formal events?

Their Derby style makes them appropriate for smart-casual events, though they are generally too casual for black-tie or highly formal dress codes.

How should I store them when not in use?

Use shoe trees to help maintain the structure of the trainer and keep them in a well-ventilated area.

What is the best way to keep them clean?

Simply wiping them with a damp cloth is usually sufficient for regular maintenance.

Troubleshooting

Laces coming untied frequently

Consider a double-knot or replacing with flat waxed laces for increased friction.

Material feels stiff upon initial wear

Wear the trainers for short periods around the house to gradually stretch the material to your foot.

Scuff marks appearing on the grained finish

Use a matching brown wax or synthetic-safe shoe cream to blend the affected area.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated design that fits multiple dress codes
  • Adjustable lace-up system for a secure fit
  • Durable synthetic materials
  • Easy to clean compared to suede or fabric footwear

Cons

  • Material is not as breathable as natural leather
  • Requires proper breaking-in for optimal comfort
  • Faux leather may show scuffs if not cared for properly

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Threadbare trainers remain in top condition, follow these simple care steps:

  1. Initial Setup: Ensure you lace the shoes to your preferred tension immediately to allow the faux leather to form to your foot shape.
  2. Cleaning: Wipe down the surface with a soft, damp cloth after each use to remove dust or light dirt. For persistent marks, use a mild soap solution and a non-abrasive sponge.
  3. Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to prevent the synthetic material from cracking.
  4. Maintenance: While the material is resilient, applying a generic synthetic-safe leather conditioner can help maintain the suppleness of the faux leather finish.
