FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the Racer 80 is a lifestyle trainer inspired by heritage runners, not a technical performance running shoe.
How should I clean the suede upper?
Use a soft brush specifically for suede. For tough stains, a suede eraser can be used, but avoid water-based cleaners.
Are these true to size?
Generally, they follow standard UK sizing for unisex trainers, but we recommend trying them on with the type of socks you plan to wear most often.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, you can swap out the standard insoles for orthotics or other cushioned insoles if required.
Are they waterproof?
No, the suede material is not waterproof. We recommend applying a protective suede spray to repel light moisture.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks matted or dusty
Use a specialized suede brush to lift the fibers and gently remove loose debris.
Water spots on the material
Allow the shoe to dry completely and then brush the affected area with a suede brush or a clean, dry cloth.
Difficulty maintaining fit
Ensure the laces are adjusted properly and consider using a thin insole if extra arch support is desired.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
When you first receive your Racer 80 trainers, ensure the fit is snug across the midfoot without being constrictive. Because they are constructed with suede, it is essential to treat them with a water-repellent spray specifically designed for suede before first use to prevent staining. To clean, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dirt. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or placing them in a washing machine, as this can damage the suede texture and the adhesive bonding. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials.
