Product Information

Full details

The Carvela Altezza Trainers are designed for the style-conscious adult looking for a refined take on the classic athletic sneaker. These trainers combine a premium suede aesthetic with modern detailing, making them an ideal choice for smart-casual wardrobes; however, due to the delicate nature of the suede upper, they are better suited for urban walking and social outings rather than intense athletic performance.

FAQs

Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?

No, you should never put suede shoes in the washing machine as it will ruin the texture and shape of the leather.

What size is this model?

This specific model is a UK size 8.

Are the laces functional?

Yes, the laces are fully adjustable, allowing you to customize the tension across the top of your foot.

How do I deal with water stains on the suede?

If they get wet, blot them dry with a clean paper towel and let them air dry naturally away from heat sources. Once dry, brush them with a suede brush.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

While the design is standard, the lace-up construction allows for a fair amount of adjustment to accommodate different foot widths.

Troubleshooting

Side zip feels stiff

Apply a tiny amount of candle wax or a graphite pencil lead to the zip teeth to help the slider move smoothly.

Visible scuffing on suede

Gently rub the affected area with a soft-bristled suede brush in a circular motion to lift the nap and hide the scuff.

Difficulty getting the foot inside

Fully unlace the top three eyelets and unzip the side zipper to maximize the opening width before sliding your foot in.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Carvela Altezza Trainers, keep the following tips in mind:

  1. Initial Protection: Treat the shoes with a suede-specific water and stain repellent before wearing them outside for the first time.
  2. Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust. For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser. Avoid soaking the material in water.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
  4. Fit: These trainers are sized for a UK 8 foot. If you find the fit tight across the bridge, ensure the laces are fully loosened before attempting to zip the side closure.
