Their key benefit lies in blending iconic 70s/80s sports heritage with modern comfort features like a PU sockliner and rubber outsole.

FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
The Pallacup Flame Trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and style. While they offer comfort and a durable outsole for everyday activities, they are not engineered for high-impact sports or athletic performance.
How do I know if I have the right size?
These trainers have a normal fit. We recommend consulting the size chart and measuring your foot if you are unsure. The standard lace closure allows for some adjustment to achieve a snug fit.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
The Pallacup Flame Trainers are made from leather and polyester but are not waterproof. While they can handle light splashes, they are not recommended for heavy rain or wet conditions as they may absorb moisture and become damaged.
How do I clean the flame detail?
The flame detail is typically screen-printed or part of the material. Clean it gently with a soft, damp cloth along with the rest of the shoe. Avoid aggressive scrubbing that could damage the graphic.
What does 'vegan' mean for these shoes?
It means that no animal products or by-products were used in the manufacturing of these specific trainers. This applies to the materials used for the upper, lining, insole, and outsole.
What is the heel height?
The heel height for the Pallacup Flame Trainers is 23 mm.
Are these lightweight trainers?
No, these trainers are not considered lightweight. They are constructed with durable materials like leather and rubber, contributing to their sturdier feel.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise when walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction within the shoe. Try wearing thicker socks, or sprinkle a small amount of talcum powder or baking soda inside the shoe (especially under the insole) to absorb moisture and reduce friction.
Leather creasing
Creasing is natural for leather. To minimize excessive creasing, ensure the shoes fit correctly and use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain their shape.
Discoloration of suede
Suede can be sensitive to moisture. If the suede gets wet, allow it to dry naturally, then use a suede brush to restore the nap. Protect with a suede protector spray before wear in potentially damp conditions.
Laces fraying
If laces become frayed, they can be replaced with standard flat shoelaces of a similar length. Ensure new laces are tied securely but not overly tight to avoid stressing the eyelets.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Leather Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. For tougher marks, a specialized leather cleaner can be used sparingly, followed by a gentle wipe with a clean cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning the Suede Accents: Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt. For stains, a suede eraser might be effective. Always brush in one direction.
- Lining and Insole: The polyester lining can be spot-cleaned with a damp cloth. The insole can be removed for airing out and lightly cleaned with a damp cloth if necessary. Do not machine wash.
- Outsole: Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed. Ensure it is dry before wearing.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, stuff them with paper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather.
