FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

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

Can I wash these in a washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the suede material and weaken the adhesive holding the rubber outsole.

Is the material real suede?

Yes, this model features a genuine suede upper construction.

Does the blue color fade?

Like all dyed materials, intense exposure to direct sunlight may cause minor fading over long periods.

Are these suitable for skating?

While the Old Skool is a skate-inspired shoe, the Color Theory suede version is primarily designed for lifestyle and everyday wear.

What should I do if they get wet?

Stuff the shoes with paper towels to absorb internal moisture and let them air dry naturally away from heat sources.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt on suede surface

Use a soft-bristle suede brush to gently lift the nap and dislodge debris.

Suede looks matted or flat

Hold the shoe briefly over steam from a kettle and then brush the suede in one direction to restore its texture.

Difficulty putting on the shoe

Ensure the laces are fully loosened before entry; avoid forcing your foot to prevent heel collar breakdown.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. To ensure a proper fit, it is recommended to wear them with mid-weight socks. For care, avoid submerging the suede in water. Instead, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust. If stains occur, treat them with a suede-specific cleaner or an eraser. For long-term storage, keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the blue dye to fade over time. Using a water-repellent spray designed for suede can provide an extra layer of protection against light rain.
