Martinelli Norwich C001-2968WA Suede Trainers in Stone

The Martinelli Norwich trainers C001-2968WA in stone are men's suede sneakers for anyone who wants comfortable shoes that still look put together. Martinelli describes them as a smart suede sneaker, sitting neatly between a casual trainer and an everyday shoe.

Materials and comfort

The upper is suede, a leather with a soft, velvety feel that gives a little with wear and has a lovely matt finish in lighter shades. Stone is a gentle neutral that keeps the look light, so these work just as well in a relaxed office as they do on a weekend stroll along the seafront.

Fit and sizing

Available in EU sizes 40 to 46. The brand hasn't published fit guidance for this model, so we'd suggest ordering your usual size. If you're unsure, give us a ring or drop us an email and we'll gladly help. Your first size exchange is free, and you have 30 days to return them.

How to wear them

Thanks to the neutral colour, they go with navy, olive or beige chinos, dark denim and linen trousers on warmer days. Add an Oxford shirt or a polo and you've got a smart-casual outfit without reaching for a suit. When the weather turns, try them with a chunky knit and a pea coat or a suede jacket.

Caring for suede

Before wearing them for the first time, treat them with a suede protector spray to help guard against stains and damp. For everyday care, a suede brush removes dust and lifts the nap. Don't put them in the washing machine, and if they get wet, let them dry naturally away from radiators and direct sunlight.
