FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Autry Medalist Low generally offers a standard fit. While the leather will conform to the foot over time, individuals with significantly wide feet might find them snug. It's recommended to try them on if possible or consult sizing charts carefully.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the leather can be treated for some water resistance, these sneakers are not designed for heavy rain. The leather and suede (if applicable) can be damaged by excessive moisture. It is best to avoid wearing them in wet conditions.
How do I clean the rubber sole?
Use a damp cloth to wipe down the rubber sole. For more stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution and a soft brush can be used, followed by rinsing with a clean damp cloth. Ensure the sole is dry before wearing.
What is the expected lifespan of these sneakers?
With proper care and regular maintenance, the Autry Medalist Low sneakers, made from quality leather and durable rubber, can last for several years of moderate use.
Does the colour of the back patch fade?
The coloured back patch is designed for durability. However, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals could potentially affect the colour over time. Storing them properly will help maintain their appearance.
Are these shoes true to size?
Autry Medalist Low sneakers are generally considered true to size based on standard UK sizing. However, foot shape can vary, so referencing the specific measurement guide provided by the retailer is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Leather creasing significantly
Creasing is natural for leather. Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape. Avoid over-tightening laces, which can exacerbate creasing.
Discoloration on the sole
The two-colour sole may show wear over time. Clean with a damp cloth. For significant scuffing, consider a rubber sole cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Inner lining feels rough
The leather and cotton terry lining is designed for durability and can feel slightly stiff initially. Wear the shoes for short periods to allow them to break in. Ensure socks are worn to prevent irritation.
Slight color transfer from contrast details
This can occur initially, especially with darker contrast colors. Avoid prolonged contact with light-colored fabrics until the shoes have been worn a few times. Ensure the leather is properly treated if using any conditioning products.
