FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for professional basketball?

No, these are lifestyle trainers inspired by basketball courts, not professional-grade performance equipment.

How do I determine my size?

These shoes follow standard UK sizing for adults and are designed with a regular fit.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and synthetic materials. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended.

Are these waterproof?

While the synthetic upper offers some protection against light moisture, they are not waterproof.

Is this a unisex model?

Yes, the Hoops Mid Classic is designed to be worn by all genders.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper is constructed from durable synthetic materials designed for a sleek look and longevity.

Troubleshooting

Laces constantly coming untied

Ensure you are using a double knot if the laces are new and smooth, or consider replacing them with textured cotton laces.

Creasing on the toe box

This is common with synthetic uppers; using shoe trees when not in use can help maintain the shape and reduce permanent creasing.

Squeaking sounds on smooth surfaces

This is typically caused by moisture or dust on the outsole; wipe the soles with a clean, dry cloth to restore grip.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile mid-top design suitable for diverse outfits
  • Sturdy construction for long-term daily use
  • Comfortable textile interior lining
  • Excellent traction provided by the rubber sole

Cons

  • Not intended for high-performance professional basketball
  • Mid-top cut may feel restrictive to some users compared to low-tops
  • Synthetic material may require specific cleaning care to avoid scuffing

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Getting the best fit starts with the adjustable lacing system; loosen the laces completely before inserting your foot to prevent premature wear on the heel counter. These trainers are true to size for a regular fit. To care for your shoes, remove surface dirt using a soft-bristled brush or a damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the structural adhesives and synthetic materials. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the colour and material integrity over time.
