FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the structure and the linen material. Stick to gentle hand-cleaning methods.
Are the RC42s true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard adult sizing, though individuals with wider feet may prefer a half-size up.
Can I wear these for running?
The RC42 is designed as a casual lifestyle trainer and does not provide the technical support required for running.
What is the primary material of the upper?
This specific variant uses premium linen.
Are these suitable for wet weather?
Due to the linen construction, it is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or mud to prevent staining.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on linen fabric
Use a dry soft-bristle brush to gently lift the dirt particles before applying any liquid cleaner.
Creasing during wear
This is natural for linen material. Use a shoe tree when not in use to help maintain the original shape.
Odour buildup
Remove the insoles to air them out and use a fabric-safe deodorizing spray inside the shoe.
