Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for athletic performance?

These trainers are designed for style and comfort during casual wear. They are not intended for rigorous athletic activities or sports.

How do I determine the correct size?

The product information specifies UK sizing. It is recommended to refer to a standard women's UK shoe size chart for the most accurate fit, as this variant is listed as size UK 8.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the suede material, sole, and cushioning.

What is the benefit of the Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole?

This insole provides enhanced cushioning and breathability, helping to keep your feet cool and comfortable throughout the day by promoting air circulation.

How does the platform midsole affect comfort?

The platform midsole offers a stable base and adds height. While contributing to style, it may feel firmer than a traditional shoe sole. The Memory Foam insole helps to maximize overall comfort.

What type of socks are best with these high-top trainers?

Ankle socks or no-show socks work well for a clean look. Crew socks can also be worn for added warmth or style, depending on the outfit.

Can the suede be treated for water resistance?

While some suede protectants can be applied, always test on a small, inconspicuous area first. Excessive moisture can still affect the suede's texture and color.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained

Use a dedicated suede brush to lift dirt. For tougher stains, test a mild suede cleaner or a slightly damp cloth in an inconspicuous area first, then clean gently and allow to air dry completely.

Laces are worn or damaged

Replace laces with standard trainer laces of a similar length. Ensure they are threaded correctly through the eyelets.

Insole feels less cushioned over time

The Air-Cooled Memory Foam® may naturally compress with prolonged use. Gentle cleaning can sometimes refresh the feel. Consider replacing insoles if significant discomfort arises after extended wear.

Scuff marks on the gum midsole

Gently wipe the affected area with a clean, damp cloth. For persistent marks, a magic eraser or a rubber cleaning block designed for shoes may be carefully used.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning the Suede: Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. For stains, a damp cloth with mild soap can be used sparingly, followed by air drying. Avoid soaking the suede.
