FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
No, the Autry Medalist Low Trainers are designed for casual wear and are not intended for athletic performance activities like running.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For more significant dirt, use a dedicated leather cleaner and follow the product instructions.
What is the sole height?
The rubber sole has a height of approximately 2.5 to 3.5 cm.
Does the raised insole significantly alter the shoe's appearance?
The 2 cm raised insole is designed to be discreet and does not significantly alter the external appearance of the shoe.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the leather is durable, it's advisable to use a leather protector spray for water resistance and avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain to preserve the material.
What size should I choose if I am between UK sizes?
As leather can stretch slightly and requires a comfortable fit, consider trying on both sizes if possible. For a snugger fit, size down; for more room, size up. The raised insole may also offer a different feel compared to standard shoes.
How often should I condition the leather?
Condition the leather every 3-6 months, or more frequently if you notice the material looking dry or if exposed to harsh conditions, to maintain its suppleness.
Troubleshooting
Leather creasing or wrinkling
Creasing is natural with leather. To minimize, ensure proper fit and use shoe trees when not in use. Avoid over-tightening laces.
Soles appear dirty
Clean the rubber sole with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn dirt, a soft brush can be used carefully.
Laces fraying
Replace cotton laces with new ones of a similar length and material for a consistent look and feel.
Discomfort after initial wear
Leather shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the size is correct; if too tight, they may not break in comfortably.
