FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, these are fashion trainers designed for casual, everyday wear rather than athletic performance.
How do I clean the platform sole?
The rubber sole can be wiped clean with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution if necessary.
Do these run true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard sizing, but if you prefer extra room for thicker socks, consider half a size up.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can destroy the suede upper and weaken the adhesive on the platform sole.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed from premium suede, while the outsole is made of durable rubber.
Are they waterproof?
No, suede is naturally absorbent. It is recommended to use a suede-specific water repellent spray.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or dusty
Gently rub the material with a soft-bristled suede brush in a consistent direction to restore the nap.
Laces coming undone frequently
Replace standard laces with a double-knot technique or use a tighter weave pattern for more security.
Stains on suede
Use a designated suede eraser for minor marks; do not use water or liquid cleaners.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your trainers looking new, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. For cleaning, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust. If the shoes become damp, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature; avoid using external heat sources like hair dryers, which can warp the material. Since these are standard lace-up sneakers, ensure a secure fit by adjusting the tension across the tongue to suit your foot width, allowing for the natural swelling that occurs throughout the day.
