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.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:

  • Keep the sneakers away from harsh chemical cleaners.
  • Use a soft-bristled brush or damp cloth to gently remove dirt from the upper materials.
  • Air dry at room temperature; avoid direct heat sources such as radiators, which can warp the materials.
  • Periodically remove the insoles to allow them to air out and prevent moisture buildup.
