FAQs

How do I clean the crepe sole?

Use a specialized crepe sole cleaner or a mild soap solution with a soft brush. Gently scrub the sole to remove dirt and stains.

Can I use leather cleaner on the nubuck?

Yes, but be gentle. Test in an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh scrubbing to prevent damaging the material. A nubuck-specific cleaner may be best.

How often should I condition the leather?

Condition the leather every 2-3 months, or more often if you wear the trainers frequently. This helps maintain the leather's suppleness.

Are these trainers waterproof?

The trainers are not fully waterproof. They are designed for general wear and not for use in heavy rain or wet conditions.

What kind of socks should I wear?

You can wear any type of socks you prefer, but thicker socks may make the trainers fit more snugly.

Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?

No, do not put your Tor Run trainers in the washing machine. This can damage the materials. Clean them by hand.

What is the lifespan of the crepe sole?

The lifespan of the crepe sole depends on usage and care. With proper care, it should last for a reasonable amount of time. Regular cleaning and avoiding harsh conditions can extend its life.

Troubleshooting

Crepe sole appears dirty or stained.

Use a crepe sole cleaner or a mild soap solution with a soft brush to gently clean the sole. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Leather upper shows signs of wear or scuff marks.

Use a leather cleaner and conditioner to restore the leather's appearance. Follow the product instructions for best results.

Trainers feel tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you have the correct size. Try wearing thinner socks or consider having the shoes professionally stretched by a cobbler.

Stitching coming undone.

If the stitching is minor, you can try to mend it yourself with a needle and thread. For significant damage, seek professional repair from a cobbler.

Crepe sole loses its grip.

Clean the crepe sole regularly. If the grip is still poor, the sole may be worn and need replacing (if possible).
