With our range of premium trainers sneakers, we've achieved what is perhaps the best bang-for-the-buck trainers in the world. Since we launched them last year, they've received a huge amount of praise from our customers (see the reviews here on the site, for example), both for the comfort, the materials and the excellent build quality. Together with a small factory in Portugal we have gone through all the parts of the shoes, and have achieved top class specifications yet keeping the price very competitive.
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 thick built-up and cushioned insole, covered with vegetable tanned leather.
- Comfortable padding along the opening and in the tongue.
- Durable and comfortable rubber soles.
- Reinforcement at the back of the heel to improve the stability of the soles, makes these trainers work also for people with pronation.
- 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 removable insole) in more durable 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.
Note: Some pairs have removable insoles that are slightly generous in size, which may cause them to fold in the front. You can easily fix this by removing the sole and cutting off a few millimetres at the front edge. The reason for this is that we use insoles we've developed ourselves that are only made for our shoes, and they only come in one version per size and sometimes they don't match the shoes completely.
Basic shoe care:
- Avoid wearing the same pair two days in a row. Shoes need time to dry up, otherwise they will wear out faster.
- Brush / wipe off your sneakers after use to remove dirt that otherwise will increase wear and tear.
- Use shoe trees and a shoehorn to retain the shape of your shoes and make them last longer.
- Treat leather with shoe cream or a moisturising conditioner / suede and textiles with waterproofing spray
- Something that makes a big difference to the overall impression is a sole edge dye that restores the sole edge, here we have Tarrago Sneakers Total White for white or Total Black for black.
More on these general advice in this guide.
Further info on cleaning and care:
When your shoes are really dirty, clean them with a good shoe cleaner, like Tarrago WASC! Sneakers Super Cleaner (always use shoe cream / conditioner on leather or waterproofing spray on suede after cleaning them).

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.
