Skolyx Premium trainers in medium brown suede

Super comfortable trainers made of medium brown calf suede and an all natural vegetable tanned leather interior. A classic, timeless style that's been around for decades. The sole has just the right balance of support and comfortable cushioning, not the spongy feel of some trainers with foam rubber soles. When developing our line of premium trainers and sneakers, we've taken all our shoe knowledge and gone into every detail of the shoes, to get specifications that are absolutely top-notch.

Many brands aren't even aware of all the parts of their shoes, how they're made and what materials have been chosen, but all of these parts have a huge impact on both the comfort and durability of the shoes. When one know what can be achieved down to the smallest detail, and work with the right manufacturers, you can go extremely far but still keep the price at a very competitive level. These trainers are made exclusively for Skolyx by a factory 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 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.

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.
