FAQs
What is the primary material of these trainers?
The primary material for the upper and lining of these trainers is leather.
Are these trainers suitable for running or high-impact sports?
These trainers are designed for casual wear and light activities. They are not specifically engineered for high-impact sports or intensive running.
How do I ensure the best fit?
It is recommended to try them on if possible, as fit can be subjective. Ensure the lace-up fastening allows for a snug but not constricting feel.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather and construction of the trainers.
What does 'Heritage Strobel construction' mean for the shoe?
Strobel construction involves stitching the upper to a lightweight fabric bottom, which is then cemented to the outsole. This typically enhances flexibility and reduces weight.
How often should I condition the leather?
The frequency of conditioning depends on usage and climate, but a general guideline is every 3-6 months to maintain the leather's health.
What are the benefits of the EVA outsole?
An EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate) outsole is known for its lightweight properties and excellent cushioning, providing good shock absorption.
Troubleshooting
Laces becoming untied frequently
Ensure laces are tied securely using a double knot, or consider replacing them with laces that offer better grip.
Discomfort after initial wear
Leather shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the lacing is not too tight.
White material showing scuffs or discoloration
Use a specialized white shoe cleaner or a magic eraser gently on scuff marks. For deeper stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner.
Slight creasing in leather
Creasing is natural with leather. Ensure the shoes fit correctly to minimize excessive creasing. Regular conditioning can help maintain the leather's appearance.
