FAQs
What material is the Autry Medalist made from?
The Autry Medalist features a 100% calfskin leather upper, with a lining made from pig leather, terry, and nylon. The sole is constructed from 100% rubber.
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
While inspired by tennis heritage and designed for comfort, the Medalist trainers are primarily intended for everyday casual wear rather than intense athletic performance.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Gently wipe the leather with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals. For protection, use a dedicated leather protector spray.
Do they come with a shoe bag?
Yes, a personalized fabric shoe bag is included with the trainers to help with storage and protection.
What is the origin of the design?
The design is inspired by 1980s tennis heritage, combining a classic athletic silhouette with modern materials and comfort features.
How does the sizing run?
The trainers generally run true to size. It is recommended to consult a size chart or try them on if possible for the best fit.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
The leather is susceptible to water damage. While they can handle light splashes, prolonged exposure to rain is not recommended. Using a water-repellent spray can offer some protection.
Troubleshooting
Leather creasing
Natural creasing is normal for leather. Ensure proper fit and use shoe trees when storing to help maintain shape.
Discoloration from water exposure
Allow the shoes to dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, condition the leather and consider applying a water-repellent treatment for future protection.
Squeaking sound
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try wearing them more or check if any part of the sole or insole is rubbing; a small amount of talcum powder might help.
