FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While named 'Runspark', these are primarily designed as lifestyle and casual trainers. They are not recommended for long-distance running or professional athletic performance.
How do I choose the right size?
These trainers follow standard UK sizing. We recommend choosing your typical shoe size, ensuring there is a thumb-width of space in the toe box.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is highly discouraged to machine wash these trainers, as water and heat can damage the construction. Hand cleaning is the safest method.
Is the unisex fit true to size?
Yes, the Runspark is designed as a unisex model using standard adult UK sizing for both men and women.
Does the shoe provide good arch support?
These shoes have a relatively flat profile. If you require specific orthopedic arch support, you may wish to add your own custom insole.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming untied frequently
Ensure you are using a double knot if the laces are stiff from newness, or replace them with cotton-based laces for better friction.
Visible scuffs on the white exterior
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning foam or a gentle magic eraser on the sole edges, and a soft cloth with mild soap for the upper.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Runspark trainers last, begin by ensuring you have selected the correct UK size, as a proper fit is essential for preventing premature wear on the heel collar. For daily care, wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the materials or cause the adhesive to lose strength. Periodically checking the laces for fraying and ensuring the insoles remain dry will extend the overall longevity of your footwear.
