FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, the Racer 80 is a lifestyle trainer inspired by heritage designs and is not equipped with the technical support needed for running.

How do I clean the suede upper?

Use a dry, soft brush to remove dirt. For stains, use a suede-specific eraser or cleaning kit.

Are these shoes unisex?

Yes, the Racer 80 is designed as a unisex product suitable for both men and women.

Will the suede color fade?

Like all dyed suede, colors can fade if exposed to excessive direct sunlight for long periods. Store them in a dark, dry place.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can cause the suede to stiffen, lose shape, or become discolored.

Does the shoe provide arch support?

The Racer 80 features a standard flat-sole design characteristic of its vintage inspiration; it provides minimal built-in arch support.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks matted or flat

Use a specialized suede brush or a clean, soft-bristled brush to gently lift the nap of the suede.

Surface stains on the suede

Use a suede eraser to gently rub the stain until it lifts, then brush the area to restore the texture.

Laces slipping or coming undone

Ensure the laces are threaded properly through all eyelets and consider a double knot for a more secure fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To get the best fit, ensure you select your standard adult size based on the UK sizing guide provided. Because the upper is made of suede, it is important to treat the shoes with a protective suede spray before first use to repel water and dirt. If the shoes become dirty, use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently remove surface debris. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this can damage the material and affect the adhesive. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the purple dye from fading.
