FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

No, you should not machine wash these trainers as the suede material can be ruined by immersion in water.

Can I use these for intense gym training?

These trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle use, rather than high-intensity gym performance.

How do I protect the suede from stains?

Apply a high-quality suede protector spray before the first wear to create a barrier against dirt and light moisture.

Do the shoes run true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing conventions for adult footwear.

Will the suede stretch over time?

Suede is a soft, natural material and may conform slightly to your foot shape after being broken in.

Troubleshooting

Scuff marks on suede

Use a specialized suede eraser or a soft-bristled brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface marks.

Sole grip appears dirty

Wipe the rubber Waffle sole with a damp cloth and mild soap to restore the traction pattern's effectiveness.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality suede material feels comfortable and durable.
  • Classic gridiron-inspired look offers a unique style statement.
  • Waffle sole provides excellent grip for daily walking.
  • Well-structured silhouette maintains its shape over time.

Cons

  • Suede material is sensitive to water and mud.
  • Limited to casual use rather than high-performance athletic training.
  • Requires protective treatment to keep the vibrant red color pristine.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these trainers are crafted from suede, proper care is essential. Avoid wearing them in wet or rainy conditions, as moisture can stain or warp the material. To maintain the vibrant red color, keep them out of direct, prolonged sunlight when not in use to prevent fading. We recommend using a suede-specific brush to remove surface dirt and a protective spray designed for suede to repel stains. When fitting, ensure you select your standard UK size to account for the suede upper's natural flexibility.
