Skolyx Premium runners sand suede

We continue to broaden our range with of highly affordable sneakers and trainers, which have been a big hit since the launch. A line of shoes where we have taken all our shoe knowledge and gone through all the parts of the shoes, and achieveed absolute top class specifications at a still affordable price level.

This model is inspired by old classic runners from the 70s, such as the Brooks Vanguard and other similar variants from that era. Made in a gorgeous sand-coloured suede tanned in Europe, with the inside fully lined in vegetable tanned leather. Durable rubber sole with good grip. Made in Portugal.

Below all the details of the shoes:
- High quality calf suede uppers.
- Fully lined in vegetable tanned Italian leather which is kind to the foot and breathes well.
- A thicker built-up and cushioned insole, covered with vegetable tanned leather.
- Comfortable padding along the opening and in the tongue.
- Durable and comfortable rubber soles.
- Leather board heel stiffeners that moulds nicely to the foot, instead of plastic heel stiffeners which are by far the most common in sneakers.
- Midsole (which is like a base inside the shoe under the loose insole) in real leather, instead of being made of a felt cloth or cardboard as in almost all other sneakers. 
- Shank in arch of the foot which gives the shoe comfortable stability in the area that is not supposed to bend.

Take care of your sneakers with high-quality sneaker care products, here you find the full range that we offer. It's also recommended to use shoe trees in cedar wood in your leather sneakers, it helps them retain their shape and dry properly. More info on shoe care in the tab below.

Our sneakers are normal in size, comparable to most other sneakers. More info on sizes in the tab below.

The cemented construction is the most basic construction method for shoes. Here the upper together with midsole / lasting board (as is the case for all our Skolyx shoes made with this construction, where a proper real leather midsole is used) or in simpler cases a fabric sole base is attached to the outsole with only adhesives, no stitching.

Nowadays the cement used is strong and can often last long, but resoling the shoes is usually trickier. Often a cobbler only attach a new wear piece on top of the original outsole, to make the shoes last longer.
