Product Information
Full details
The Helly Hansen Anakin Leather 2 trainers are designed for the adult male seeking comfortable and stylish everyday footwear. Their key benefit lies in the combination of premium leather and suede with a focus on recycled materials, offering both durability and a sustainable choice. A potential consideration is that the bold graphic EVA midsole might not suit minimalist style preferences. These trainers feature a full-grain leather upper, quality suede, breathable textiles, and a cushioned EVA midsole with recycled content, making them suitable for daily wear.

FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running or intense sports?
No, the Helly Hansen Anakin Leather 2 trainers are designed primarily for casual wear, comfort, and light activities. They do not offer the specific support and cushioning required for running or high-impact sports.
How do I maintain the water-resistant properties of the suede and leather?
Regularly apply a suitable water-repellent spray specifically designed for leather and suede. Ensure the shoes are clean and dry before application for best results.
What does 'LWG Leather' certification mean?
LWG stands for Leather Working Group. This certification indicates that the leather used has been sourced and produced in a way that adheres to environmental best practices within the leather industry.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather, suede, and internal construction of the trainers.
What is the benefit of the recycled materials used?
Using recycled materials like lining, toe box reinforcement, laces, and rubber reduces waste, conserves natural resources, and lowers the environmental impact associated with manufacturing new materials.
How heavy are these trainers?
The Helly Hansen Anakin Leather 2 trainers have a weight of approximately 300.0 grams, making them relatively lightweight for a leather shoe designed for all-day comfort.
Are these trainers true to size?
Generally, Helly Hansen footwear is considered true to size. However, fit can vary slightly between individuals. It is recommended to refer to the size chart and consider trying them on if possible.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur due to moisture between the insole and midsole or friction from the laces. Try removing the insole and drying both it and the inside of the shoe. Ensure laces are not too tight.
Leather/suede appears dry or stiff
The materials may need conditioning. Apply a leather conditioner to the leather parts and a suede conditioner or protector spray to the suede sections according to product instructions. Allow to dry fully.
Discoloration on suede
Water or certain substances can cause discoloration. Attempt to gently brush the area with a suede brush. For stubborn stains, use a dedicated suede eraser or cleaner. Test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
Poor fit or discomfort
Ensure the correct size has been selected. Break-in periods may be necessary for leather footwear. Wear the shoes for short periods initially and gradually increase duration. Check lacing technique to avoid pressure points.
