FAQs
What materials are the Autry Medalist Trainers made from?
They are crafted from premium leather with suede inserts, featuring a rubber sole.
Are these trainers suitable for athletic performance?
The Autry Medalist Trainers are primarily designed for fashion and casual comfort. While they offer good support for walking, they are not intended for high-impact athletic activities.
How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
Use a specialized suede brush or a suede eraser to gently remove dirt and restore the nap. Avoid water, as it can stain suede.
What is the fit like for the Medalist Trainers?
The trainers generally offer a comfortable fit, with a padded ankle collar for added support. It is recommended to consult sizing charts for the best fit, as individual foot shapes can vary.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the rubber sole offers some protection, the leather and suede materials are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions and to use a protective spray.
What does the U.S. flag decoration signify?
The U.S. flag decoration is a design element that contributes to the trainers' retro American athletic aesthetic, referencing the brand's heritage.
How do I maintain the leather parts of the trainers?
Wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth and use a leather conditioner periodically to keep it supple and prevent cracking. Specialized leather cleaners can be used for tougher stains.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise when walking
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try walking on different surfaces or apply a small amount of talcum powder under the insole if removable. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly.
Leather creasing
Creasing is natural with leather footwear and indicates the shoes are being worn. To minimize appearance, ensure proper fit and use shoe trees when not in use.
Color transfer from suede
If the suede is rubbing off onto socks, ensure the shoes are dry and have been treated with a suede protector. This is more common with new suede items.
