FAQs

Are these trainers true to size?

The Apex Trainers are generally considered true to size. However, it's always recommended to check the size guide and consider personal fit preferences, as individual foot shapes can vary.

How should I care for the tumbled leather?

Clean with a damp cloth and use a leather conditioner periodically. Protect with a waterproofing spray, especially in wet weather, and store in a dry place.

Can I wear these trainers in the rain?

While the leather can be treated for water resistance, these trainers are not waterproof. It's best to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. Ensure they are dried thoroughly if they get wet.

What is the sole made of?

The trainers feature a custom two-tone rubber outsole designed for durability and traction.

Are these suitable for athletic performance?

These trainers are designed for casual wear and style. They are not intended for high-impact athletic activities or sports.

What does 'handmade in Portugal' signify?

This indicates that the shoes are produced with skilled craftsmanship and attention to detail in Portugal, a region known for quality footwear manufacturing.

How do I clean the rubber sole?

The rubber sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Wipe clean with a dry cloth afterwards.

Troubleshooting

Leather scuff marks

Gently buff the affected area with a soft cloth. For deeper scuffs, use a leather cleaner or a colored leather balm that matches the shoe color.

Slight stiffness on first wear

Wear the trainers around the house for short periods to break in the leather. Using a leather conditioner can also help soften the material.

Discoloration from water exposure

Allow the shoes to dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, treat with a leather conditioner. It's recommended to use a waterproofing spray to prevent future water damage.

Sole separation (minor)

For minor separation, a strong adhesive designed for footwear or leather can be carefully applied. For significant issues, consult a professional cobbler.
