FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, the Fred Perry Canvas Plimsoll is constructed from canvas and suede, making them best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. They are not waterproof and prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended.

How do I clean the suede parts?

Use a dedicated suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a suede eraser is recommended. Avoid using water, as it can damage and stain the suede.

What is the best way to store these shoes?

Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Using the original box or a shoe bag can help maintain their condition.

Can I wear these for sports?

While inspired by tennis heritage, these plimsolls are primarily designed for casual everyday wear and fashion. They do not offer the specific support or cushioning required for rigorous athletic activities.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by Fred Perry. UK sizing is used for this product. Ensure a snug but comfortable fit, with enough room for standard socks.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is primarily constructed from 'Navy' cotton sateen canvas with suede overlays.

Troubleshooting

Canvas appears discolored after cleaning

Ensure you used a mild soap and a damp, not soaking, cloth. Always air dry away from direct heat and sunlight. For severe discoloration, consider professional cleaning.

Suede is stiff or marked

Use a suede brush in multiple directions to restore the nap. For persistent marks, a suede eraser can help lift stains. Avoid using water on suede parts.

Outsole grip is reduced

Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove any embedded dirt or debris. Check the tread pattern for excessive wear; if worn down significantly, replacement may be necessary.

Compatibility: The Fred Perry Canvas Plimsoll is designed for casual adult footwear. They are compatible with a wide range of casual clothing styles.

Care Instructions:

  • Canvas Upper: Gently brush with a soft-bristled brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a damp cloth and mild soap, then allow to air dry away from direct heat.
