Can I replace the insoles?

What is the width fitting of these trainers?
The width fitting is UK C+ (Gabor F), which is generally considered a standard to slightly generous fit.
How do I clean suede and leather trainers?

What is the heel height?
The heel height is approximately 2.5cm.
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?

Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise from the shoe
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try powdering the insole lightly with talcum powder or ensuring the insole is correctly seated.
Discomfort on the sides of the feet
The 'UK C+' width may require breaking in. Wear them for short periods initially. If discomfort persists, consider the fit or if custom orthotics would alter the pressure points.
Suede looking dull or stained
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, consult a specialist suede cleaner. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.
Laces fraying
Replace laces with a similar type. Ensure they are not tied too tightly, which can cause premature wear.
