FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for playing tennis?
While named 'Tennis' trainers for their heritage style, they are designed for casual fashion wear and do not provide the specialized lateral support needed for competitive sports.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
It is not recommended. Machine washing can damage the structural integrity and the adhesives used in the construction of the rubber outsole.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing. If you have particularly wide feet, you may find them slightly snug due to the low-profile design.
What is the best way to keep the white fabric bright?
Avoid wearing them in wet or muddy conditions and use a fabric-safe stain protector spray immediately after purchasing to create a water-repellent barrier.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable, allowing you to replace them with custom orthotics if preferred.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt or scuffs on the cotton upper
Gently scrub with a soft-bristled brush and a mixture of water and mild detergent, then air dry away from heat sources.
Laces becoming loose during the day
Replace standard knots with a double-knot or consider aftermarket wax-coated laces for better grip.
Odour buildup inside the shoe
Remove the insoles to air them out separately and use a deodorizing spray specifically formulated for fabric footwear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your B708 trainers remain in top condition, follow these simple guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Wear them for short durations indoors for the first few days to allow the cotton upper to soften.
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or a damp cloth with mild soap to spot-clean the cotton surface. Avoid putting them in a washing machine, as high-heat agitation can weaken the adhesives.
- Storage: Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the white cotton from yellowing.
- Compatibility: These trainers feature a standard fit; for the best comfort, pair them with moisture-wicking socks to maintain the breathability of the cotton material.
