Our new Sweeney Vintage trainer has a unique LACTAE HEVEA sole. Farmed in a completely sustainable, ecological way, the Heavea trees are tapped for their milk, which is then refined to produce a natural, slightly translucent gum sole – tiny bubbles of air are formed in the process producing a super flexible ‘walking on air’ comfort. The design is based on army trainers from the 1950s, with a reinforced toe, neatly folded side seams, padded collar and tongue and a full calf leather lining and insock.

The soft, calf suede upper is waxed to produce a vintage aesthetic with water repellent properties. Keep the uppers topped up with a water repellent spray.
