Product Information
Full details
These Tamaris trainers are designed for adult women seeking a stylish and comfortable everyday footwear option. Their key benefit is the combination of trendy slip-on design with superior comfort features like the OrthoLite® insole. A minor caveat is the heel height, which is a moderate 3.5 cm, so they are not entirely flat shoes. They feature a faux leather, textile, and synthetic upper, elasticated lacing for easy wear, and a durable synthetic outsole.

FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
The slip-on design with elasticated lacing offers some flexibility, but the standard fit is designed for average width feet. If you have particularly wide feet, they may not provide adequate comfort. Trying them on is recommended.
How do I check the correct size if the label shows US/Euro?
Always refer to the UK size indicated when purchasing. If the box or label shows US or Euro sizing, consult a reliable size conversion chart or check the product listing's UK size information. It's best to try them on to confirm fit.
Can the OrthoLite® insole be removed?
Yes, the OrthoLite® insole is typically removable, allowing for easier cleaning or the insertion of custom orthotics if needed.
What is the heel height exactly?
The wedge heel height is approximately 3.5 cm.
Are these trainers waterproof?
These trainers are not advertised as waterproof. They are designed for everyday wear and are not intended for use in heavy rain or wet conditions.
How often should I clean my trainers?
Clean your trainers as needed, especially after significant wear or if they become visibly dirty. Regular spot cleaning can help maintain their appearance and prolong their life.
What is the material of the upper?
The upper is made from a combination of Faux Leather, Textile, and Synthetic materials.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or uncomfortable
Wear the shoes around the house for short periods to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape. Ensure you are trying on with appropriate socks. If persistent, consider if the size is correct or if the shoe's specific fit is not suitable for your foot shape.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, particularly around the insole, to reduce friction. Ensure the insole is properly seated.
Insole is not providing enough cushioning
The OrthoLite® insole is designed for comfort, but individual needs vary. Consider purchasing aftermarket insoles if you require additional or different types of support. Ensure the original insole is clean and dry.
Traction feels poor on certain surfaces
Ensure the synthetic outsole is clean and free from debris, mud, or excessive wear. For slick surfaces, exercise caution as synthetic soles may not offer the same grip as specialized rubber compounds.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers require no assembly. Upon receiving them, simply try them on to ensure a proper fit.
Compatibility: Designed for women, these trainers are versatile for casual wear. They pair well with jeans, casual dresses, skirts, and shorts.
Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the faux leather and textile surfaces with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the material.
- Cleaning the Insole: The OrthoLite® insole can often be spot-cleaned with a mild soap and water solution. Ensure it is thoroughly dried before wearing.
- Cleaning the Sole: The synthetic outsole can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a soft brush may be used.
- Drying: If the trainers become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and retain their shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a breathable shoe bag to protect them from dust and damage.
