FAQs
Are these sneakers suitable for running?
While comfortable for walking, they are designed primarily as lifestyle trainers and are not intended for long-distance or high-intensity running.
How should I clean the rubber soles?
You can scrub the rubber outsoles with a mixture of warm water and mild dish soap using an old toothbrush.
Do these shoes fit true to size?
Yes, they generally align with standard UK adult shoe sizing. If you have particularly wide feet, you may consider trying a half-size up.
Can I put these shoes in a washing machine?
It is not recommended, as the mechanical action and heat can damage the glue and technical foam materials.
What is the primary material used for the upper?
The upper uses a combination of mesh and synthetic materials to balance breathability and structural integrity.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on mesh upper
Use a dry soft brush to lift loose debris, then wipe gently with a damp cloth and mild soap.
Laces coming undone
Ensure a double knot is used if walking for extended periods, or replace with sport-specific laces for more friction.
