FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While comfortable for walking, the 997 Sport is designed as a lifestyle trainer and is not recommended for dedicated long-distance running.
How do I clean the black upper?
Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoes or machine washing them.
Is the sizing true to standard UK measurements?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing, though the internal support structure may feel more fitted than basic canvas sneakers.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
They are not specifically treated for water resistance. It is recommended to avoid heavy rain to protect the materials.
Can I replace the insoles with orthotics?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing for the use of custom orthotics if required.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially
The 997 Sport is designed for a snug fit. Allow for a break-in period of a few days for the materials to adapt to your foot shape.
Accumulation of dust on black material
Use a soft dry brush or a lint roller to gently lift dust and surface particles from the fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your 997 Sport trainers remain in top condition, proper care is essential. Since the shoe is finished in black, it is recommended to use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt or debris after use to prevent staining. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to maintain the shape of the materials. Regarding compatibility, these trainers feature a neutral profile that works well with denim, chinos, or athletic joggers. Ensure you are wearing the correct size, specifically referencing the UK 9.5 fit, as the 997 series utilizes a supportive, snug fit profile that may feel different than standard casual sneakers.
