Trainers Leather Upper Frequently Asked Questions
Some trainers are made of leather – often a leather upper combined with a synthetic sole – while other trainers are made entirely out of synthetic materials, rubber or canvas. Leather trainers will usually have a symbol either on the sole or on an inside tag which indicates this fact.
Leather can be a good material for trainers because it is particularly durable and may last far longer than footwear made out of other materials which are more likely to quickly degrade over time. Footwear made of leather also offers good flexibility and breathability, providing more comfort for your foot.
In America, most people will refer to them as leather sneakers, with the name coming from their relative lack of noise compared to shoes.
