FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they provide comfort for walking, the Rafa LTX is primarily a lifestyle trainer and is not specifically engineered for high-impact running or marathon training.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as this can damage the structural integrity and the all-over print. Spot cleaning is the safest method.
What does the removable footbed allow me to do?
The removable footbed allows you to replace the standard insole with custom orthotic inserts tailored to your specific arch and cushioning needs.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
The polyester material provides basic protection, but these shoes are not waterproof and should be avoided in heavy rain or deep puddles.
Do these fit true to size?
The sizing follows standard adult UK measurements. If you are between sizes, consider the specific fit provided in the product size guide.
Is the branding visible?
Yes, these trainers feature the iconic GAS brand logo integrated into the design.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels uncomfortable or loose
Remove the footbed and re-seat it properly, or consider replacing it with a custom insert for improved ergonomics.
Laces coming untied frequently
Ensure a double-knot is used or check if the laces have become worn; replace with standard flat laces if necessary.
Surface dirt accumulation
Gently clean the polyester exterior using a mild soap solution on a soft cloth; avoid excessive scrubbing to preserve the all-over print.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your GAS Rafa LTX trainers, keep the following in mind:
- Initial Fit: Use the lace-up system to adjust the tightness across the midfoot to achieve your preferred tension.
- Customization: If you use custom orthotics, remove the existing footbed entirely before inserting your own to ensure a flat, stable surface.
- Cleaning: Wipe the polyester upper with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh industrial chemicals that may damage the print.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the vibrant blue tones and print from fading over time.
