FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for athletic activities?
The ASTRA trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and day-long comfort. While they offer good support for walking, they are not specialized for high-impact athletic performance.
How do I know if the relaxed fit is right for me?
If you prefer a snug, form-fitting shoe, this relaxed silhouette might feel looser than expected. They are ideal for those who value comfort and don't require a highly constrictive fit.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
The leather is breathable and can be treated with waterproofing products. However, prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended and may require immediate drying and care.
What does 'Leather Working Group-certified' mean?
It signifies that the leather used in the trainers has been produced in a tannery audited and certified by the Leather Working Group for its environmental best practices.
How often should I condition the leather?
It is recommended to condition the leather every 3-6 months, or more frequently if the shoes are exposed to harsh conditions or appear dry.
Can I put these in a washing machine?
No, never put leather trainers in a washing machine. This can damage the leather and the shoe's construction. Always clean them by hand using the methods described in the care instructions.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff after initial wear.
This is normal for new leather. Wear the shoes for short periods initially, and they will soften with use. Applying a leather conditioner can also help.
Water marks appearing on the leather.
Allow the shoes to dry naturally away from heat. Once dry, use a leather cleaner and conditioner to restore the appearance. Consider applying a waterproofing spray for future protection.
Slight discomfort on the heel or toes.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If discomfort persists, try wearing the trainers for shorter durations to allow your feet to adjust to the fit and shape.

Care Instructions:
