FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Retropy E5 generally fits true to size for most adults, though those with wider feet may prefer a half-size larger.
Can these be used for running?
While they provide good cushioning, they are lifestyle trainers designed for walking and casual use rather than dedicated long-distance running.
How do I keep the white parts clean?
Use a soft sponge with warm water and mild detergent for the white panels, but avoid submerging the suede areas.
Are they suitable for rainy weather?
It is best to avoid heavy rain as suede is susceptible to water damage; treat with a water-repellent spray for better protection.
Is the insole removable?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable if you need to insert your own custom orthotics.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on suede upper
Use a specialized suede brush or a pencil eraser to gently rub away surface stains and restore the nap.
Creasing in the toe box
Use shoe trees when not in use to help the shoe maintain its shape and minimize deep creases.
Laces feel loose
Re-thread the laces to ensure tension is even across the eyelets and use a double knot if the material is slippery.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers last, it is recommended to apply a protective suede spray before your first wear to guard against moisture and dirt. If the shoes become soiled, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dry debris from the suede sections. For the midsole, a damp cloth with mild soap can effectively remove scuffs. Always allow your shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the material.
