This is how men’s trainers conquered the world
As early as the 19th century, the ancestors of men’s trainers appeared, the plimsoll shoes with a thin rubber outsole and a similarly thin upper part. These shoes were worn specifically for sports, but they did not yet provide enough support for the foot. Keds trainers, developed by Goodyear, were a big step forward for today’s trainers, with thicker rubber outsoles and a lace-up design that offered significantly better support. From this point on, comfortable footwear slowly made its way into all sports and became part of everyday wear. The term “trainers” is derived from “sneak up”, as the rubber soles made the footsteps barely audible. By the mid-20th century, trainers for the whole family were being produced by a plethora of manufacturers, and the footwear burst onto the fashion scene, with trainers designed for the specific needs of almost every sport from the ’70s onwards. And in the 90s, famous sportsmen started to promote the shoes, which then became a permanent part of the catwalks.

Caring for men’s trainers
Proper care is very important to enjoy your favourite footwear for as long as possible. Plus, clean, like-new shoes give you a presentable look. Let’s see how to care for men’s trainers!
Clean the upper of the fabric with soap and water and allow it to air dry. Occasionally you can even wash them in a washing machine on a programme for sports shoes. However, too intensive cleaning in the washing machine is not advisable, as it can damage the adhesive;
However, never use a washing machine for leatherette and leather trainers, and avoid using soap, as this can dry out the material and cause chapping. Instead, clean the footwear with a soft shoe brush and then wipe with a damp cloth. Finally, use the right leather conditioner for the material;
To protect against moisture and external influences, it is advisable to use an impregnating agent.
