FAQs
What is the primary material of the Autry Medalist trainers?
The primary material is a high-quality leather for the upper and overlays, with a cotton lining and a rubber outsole.
Are these trainers suitable for sports or intense physical activity?
No, the Autry Medalist trainers are designed as fashion footwear for casual wear. They are not intended for athletic performance or rigorous activities.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth for general cleaning. For stains, use a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry. It is recommended to use a specific leather cleaner and protector.
Do these trainers have good arch support?
The Medalist trainers offer standard support inherent in their design. For individuals requiring enhanced arch support, the addition of aftermarket insoles is an option.
What does the 'Medalist' series signify?
The 'Medalist' series refers to Autry's line of classic, vintage-inspired trainers that were popular in the 1980s, featuring a timeless aesthetic and quality craftsmanship.
Can I wear these trainers in the rain?
While the leather offers some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain. Applying a waterproofing spray can offer some protection against light moisture.
What is the purpose of the perforated toe box?
The perforated toe box is a design element that enhances breathability, helping to keep your feet cooler and more comfortable, especially during warmer weather.
Troubleshooting
Leather scuffs or scratches
For minor scuffs, try buffing gently with a soft cloth. For deeper scratches, a color-matched leather cream or polish may be needed. Test any product on an inconspicuous area first.
Laces come undone frequently
Ensure laces are tied securely. Consider replacing flat laces with a type that offers more grip, or double-knotting them.
Discomfort or poor fit
Ensure the correct size was purchased. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to break them in. Consider using insoles for added comfort if needed.
Discoloration of leather
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals. If discoloration occurs, consult a specialist leather cleaner or repair service.
