FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard adult UK sizing; however, since they are built with a classic design, some users prefer to try them on for the best fit.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

It is generally recommended to hand-clean them, as machine washing can damage the rubber foxing and glue over time.

Do these provide good arch support?

They offer a traditional flat sole. If you require significant arch support, you may wish to use aftermarket insoles.

Are these shoes unisex?

Yes, the 1970s series is designed as a unisex product suitable for all adults.

What is the material used?

The upper portion is crafted from high-quality, durable cotton canvas.

Do they come in original packaging?

Yes, each pair is provided in its original packaging to ensure authenticity.

Troubleshooting

Canvas becoming stained or dirty

Spot clean with a mixture of mild laundry detergent and warm water using a soft cloth or brush.

Canvas feels stiff

Wear them regularly for short periods to allow the material to break in and conform to your foot shape.

Laces becoming frayed

Replace with standard flat cotton laces to maintain the classic 1970s look.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Out of the box, these trainers are ready for immediate wear. To ensure they remain in top condition, follow these care guidelines:

Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the cotton surface. For deeper stains, use a mild soap and water solution with a damp cloth, avoiding abrasive chemicals that might damage the fabric or rubber.
Drying: Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally in a cool, ventilated area. Avoid placing them directly on heaters or in direct sunlight, which can cause the rubber to yellow or the canvas to fade.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture to prevent mold growth on the fabric.
Compatibility: These trainers feature a standard fit; if you prefer extra room for thicker socks, consider that the canvas does not stretch as much as synthetic athletic fabrics.
