Skolyx Premium trainers white and light grey
$114
Great version of the classic trainer, a model type that is one of the oldest type of sneakers around. Made of white chrome free calf leather and light grey calf suede, with an all natural vegetable tanned leather interior. Sensationally comfortable with a sole that has just the right balance of support and comfortable cushioning, not at all the spongy feel of some trainers with foam rubber soles.
With our range of premium trainers sneakers, we've achieved what is perhaps the best bang-for-the-buck trainers in the world. When we started working with a, for us, new 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:
- Chrome free calf leather and 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.
- 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 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.
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 and 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).
Read this guide for more detailed information and video on how to clean and care for your sneakers.
General size info
Our sneakers and trainers are normal in size, most people have the same size as they have in other sneakers (runners are small in size, here most people choose a size up against this). If you are choosing between two sizes, it's usually best to go for the larger size. Keep in mind that you can adjust the size by changing the insole, either by replacing the relatively thick insole with a thinner one (like this one) to make more room, or by inserting a thin insole (like this one) under the existing insole of the shoe to fill it up. If you think the shoes are small, test removing the insole to get a feel for how one size up feels. Compared to our Goodyear welted shoes, these are small in size, it's common to go up 0.5-1 size compared to what you have in welted footwear.
They are manufactured in EU sizes, so conversions to UK / US may fluctuate slightly. US sizes listed are men's US sizing.
Selecting size based on feet measurements
Although the shape of your feet is very important, in many cases you can calculate your shoe size by measuring the length of your feet and look at the chart below. If you have very wide feet, an extra high instep or similar, you should also consider this and look at the other ways to calculate your size as well. Of course, personal taste is also something that is important. Some people prefer snug shoes while others prefer more roomy.
Note: For runners, most to up 1 size compared to our senakers and trainers, so the guidance here +1.
Measure your feet with your heel against a wall and with a tape measure or a ruler lying on the floor (so not by drawing the foot and then take measurements). Here's a picture that explains it further. The measurements in the chart below are approximate, and are only intended as guidance and not fact.
Selecting size based on shoe measurements
If you want to compare the measurements of our sneakers with other shoes you have, you can look at the chart below. Note that there may be some differences between sneakers and trainers, the measurements are approximate (note, runners are shorter, about 1 cm). The width refers to the widest part of the shoe. When comparing with other shoes, it may also differ due to the shape of the toe, the design of the sole and so on. Only use this as guidance.
