FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While the FYW 98 has athletic origins, it is designed as a lifestyle trainer for daily use rather than high-performance running.

Does the leather require waterproofing?

While not strictly required, applying a high-quality leather protector spray can help guard against water spots and light rain.

How should I clean the soles?

Use a mixture of mild soap and warm water with a soft-bristled brush to gently scrub the rubber outsoles.

Is the sizing true to fit?

The FYW 98 generally fits true to size for standard UK foot measurements.

Are the insoles removable?

The insoles are generally designed to be part of the stable support system, but you may replace them with orthotics if necessary.

Troubleshooting

Leather showing scuffs or marks

Use a specialized leather conditioner and a soft cloth to buff out light scuffs.

Material feels stiff after storage

Wear the shoes for short periods to allow the natural heat of your feet to soften the leather fibers.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable leather construction
  • Distinctive 90s-inspired style
  • Stable support for daily wear
  • Versatile colour palette

Cons

  • Leather requires specific maintenance
  • Design aesthetic may not appeal to those preferring minimalist shoes
  • Limited ventilation compared to mesh trainers

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because the FYW 98 uses leather, proper care is essential to extending the life of the footwear. Avoid exposing the shoes to excessive moisture or mud. For routine cleaning, wipe the leather with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. If the shoes become stained, use a dedicated leather cleaner applied sparingly with a soft brush or cloth. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or the colours from fading. Ensure you are wearing the correct UK adult size to benefit fully from the arch and heel support designed into the chassis.
