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.

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.
