What are retro sneakers?+

Retro sneakers use design cues associated with earlier running, training, military and skate footwear, such as suede overlays, mesh panels and low-profile rubber soles.

What is a German Army trainer?+

It is a low-profile training-shoe style known for a streamlined upper, layered toe panels and a flat gum-style sole. Details vary by Hector Maden model.

How should I style men's retro sneakers?+

Low-profile leather pairs work well with denim and tailoring. Vintage runners add texture to relaxed trousers, shorts and layered casual outfits.

Do all retro sneakers fit the same?+

No. Last shape, lining and upper material affect the fit. Use the size chart and fit notes on the individual product page before ordering.

How do I clean mixed-material sneakers?+

Brush off dry dirt first, then clean each material with a suitable product. Avoid soaking suede and test any cleaner on a hidden area.
