FAQs
What material are these trainers made of?
These trainers feature a mixed material construction, typically including elements like leather, synthetic materials, and textiles, as indicated by the 'RETRO RUNNER ESS MIX MAT' description.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While designed with a 'runner' aesthetic, these trainers are best suited for casual wear and light activity rather than intense athletic training or running.
How should I clean the mixed materials?
It is recommended to use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth for general cleaning. For specific material issues (e.g., leather or suede), consult specialized cleaning guides or products for those materials, and always test on a hidden spot first.
What is the best way to store these trainers?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using the original box or a shoe bag can help maintain their shape and protect them from dust.
Do these trainers come in other colors?
This specific model is described as Black/Light Cashew. While other colorways might exist for the '1979' series, this guide focuses on the available description.
What UK shoe size do these trainers come in?
The product information indicates availability in various UK adult foot sizes, including UK 9 as per the provided data.
Can I wear these with socks?
Yes, these trainers are designed to be worn with socks for comfort and hygiene. The type of sock (thin or thick) can also affect the fit.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear with thin socks initially and allow the shoes to break in naturally. If persistent, consider using a shoe stretcher or consulting a cobbler.
Difficulty lacing
Ensure laces are threaded loosely at first. If laces fray, replace them with standard flat laces.
Discoloration on materials
Refer to specific care instructions for the materials. Generally, use a specialized cleaner for suede or leather, and a damp cloth for synthetic parts. Test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes be caused by moisture or friction between shoe parts. Try sprinkling talcum powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, or check if the sole needs re-adhering (consult a professional if needed).
