How do I know if I have the correct size?

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

What does 'exposed foam tongue' mean?

What kind of surfaces is the herringbone outsole best for?
The herringbone pattern is designed to provide good grip and traction on a variety of everyday surfaces, such as pavements, tile, and wood floors.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are not pulled too tight. If still uncomfortable, consider if the size is appropriate for your foot.
Traction feels inadequate
Ensure the herringbone outsole is clean and free from debris. For slippery surfaces, exercise caution as the tread is designed for general use.
Discoloration on the animal print
Avoid harsh cleaning chemicals. Use a mild, damp cloth for cleaning and ensure the shoes are not exposed to prolonged direct sunlight which can fade colors.
