FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they feature a regular fit that is generally consistent with standard UK sizing.

Can I wear these for sports?

Can I put these in the washing machine?

Troubleshooting

Outsole loses grip

Wipe the gum rubber soles with a damp cloth to remove accumulated dust or residue that may cause slipping.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile vintage style that complements various outfits
  • Lightweight construction for all-day comfort
  • High-traction gum rubber outsole for daily urban use
  • Durable suede reinforcement on high-wear areas

Cons

  • Suede material is prone to staining and water damage
  • Light-coloured synthetic details may show dirt easily
  • Not intended for high-intensity athletic performance in modern contexts

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers feature a standard, true-to-size regular fit. To ensure they last, treat the suede sections with a water-repellent spray before initial use to protect against moisture and spills. Avoid submerging the shoes in water; instead, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dust and dirt from the suede. For the synthetic leather stripes and nylon panels, a damp cloth with mild soap is sufficient for light cleaning. Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the colours from fading over time.
