Buffalo CLD Chai Trainers - White - UK 4

Buffalo trainers typically run true to size. We recommend ordering your standard UK shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider trying the next half size up for comfort, especially with a padded design. Info needed: [confirmation on specific sizing recommendations if available]

Vegan leather, also known as faux leather or synthetic leather, is a material designed to mimic the appearance and texture of animal leather without using any animal products. It's typically made from polyurethane (PU) or polyvinyl chloride (PVC), offering a sustainable and ethical alternative.

While the vegan leather offers some resistance to light moisture, these trainers are not fully waterproof. We advise against wearing them in heavy rain or submerging them in water to protect the materials and prolong their lifespan. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally.

For daily maintenance, use a damp cloth to wipe the soles. For tougher scuffs and marks, a 'magic eraser' sponge works wonders on rubber soles. A mild soap solution with a soft brush can also be effective for deeper cleaning.

The Buffalo CLD Chai Trainers are designed for casual wear and street-style fashion, offering comfort and style for everyday activities. They are not specifically engineered for high-impact athletic activities such as running or intense workouts, where specialized sports footwear would be more appropriate.

These trainers feature a comfortable textile lining and a sturdy sole structure that provides general support for everyday wear. While they are not specifically designed as orthopedic footwear, many find them comfortable for regular use. For specific arch support needs, custom insoles can be added.

Regularly wipe down the vegan leather and rubber soles with a damp cloth after each wear. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush for mesh areas, and a magic eraser for rubber soles.

Ensure you are wearing breathable socks, preferably made from moisture-wicking materials. While the textile lining offers breathability, individual comfort can vary. Consider rotating your trainers to allow them to air out between wears.

A short break-in period is normal for new footwear. Wear them for shorter periods initially to allow the materials to soften and conform to your foot shape. Adjusting the lacing can also help improve comfort.

New rubber soles can sometimes squeak as they break in. Ensure the insole is properly seated. If the squeaking persists, try applying a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch under the insole to reduce friction.
