FAQs
Are these sneakers suitable for running?
No, the Autry Medalist Low Sneakers are designed for casual wear and everyday comfort, not for athletic performance activities like running.
How do I clean the blue suede material?
For general cleaning, use a soft-bristled suede brush. For stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner. Always protect with a suede protector spray afterwards.
What is the sole height of these sneakers?
The sole height ranges from approximately 2.5 to 3.5 cm.
What is the benefit of the 2 cm raised leather sockliner?
The raised leather sockliner is designed to provide extra cushioning and comfort for your foot during prolonged wear.
Can I wear these sneakers in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet weather as they can be easily damaged. Use a suede protector spray to offer some resistance, but avoid prolonged exposure to moisture.
How should I store these sneakers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape. Avoid storing them in plastic bags, as this can trap moisture.
What material is the heel counter made of?
The heel counter is made of white leather with an embossed Autry logo.
Troubleshooting
Suede becoming dirty or stained
Use a suede eraser for light marks and a specialized suede cleaner for tougher stains. Always test on an inconspicuous area first. Protect with a suede spray.
Reduced comfort after extended wear
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. The 2 cm raised leather sockliner provides cushioning; if discomfort persists, consider insoles designed for low-top shoes.
Water damage to suede
Blot excess water immediately with a dry cloth. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from heat. Once dry, brush the suede to restore its nap. Consider using a suede protector spray to prevent future water damage.
Laces fraying or becoming worn
Replace laces with new ones of a similar material and length. Flat white cotton laces are recommended for this model.
