FAQs

Are these sneakers suitable for skating?

While they feature the signature waffle sole, the MoMA Era series is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear rather than heavy-duty skating.

Do these fit true to size?

Yes, they generally fit true to standard adult UK sizing, though the ComfyCush technology provides a slightly snugger, more secure fit than older models.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

We do not recommend machine washing. Hand cleaning is safer for the materials and ensures the checkered pattern stays vibrant.

What does the MoMA collaboration imply?

This indicates that the design was developed in partnership with the Museum of Modern Art, featuring artistic patterns inspired by their exhibits.

Are these shoes unisex?

Yes, while listed under male sizing, the design and silhouette are commonly worn by all genders.

How do I protect the multicolored pattern?

Applying a fabric-safe stain repellent spray before first wear is the best way to prevent dirt and liquid from penetrating the canvas fibers.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt on the canvas surface

Use a soft-bristled brush with a mixture of mild soap and cold water to gently scrub the affected area, then air dry away from direct sunlight.

Insole feels worn down after heavy use

While the ComfyCush is integrated for comfort, if you feel a loss of support over time, you can add a thin aftermarket insole for additional cushioning.

Stiffening of the canvas after cleaning

Ensure you rinse the soap out completely and stuff the shoe with paper towels while it dries to help maintain its shape and softness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These shoes are ready to wear straight out of the box with no break-in period required thanks to the flexible ComfyCush interior. To ensure longevity, we recommend using a water and stain repellent spray upon purchase to protect the fabric from spills and environmental elements. If the shoes become dirty, gently spot-clean the canvas using a soft brush, mild detergent, and cold water. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the adhesives and distort the shape of the sneakers.
