FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the 2002R features a retro-running design, they are intended primarily for lifestyle and everyday wear rather than performance running.
How do I clean the suede material?
Use a dry, soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dirt. Avoid water or liquid cleaners.
Are these unisex trainers?
Yes, this specific model is designed for all genders.
What is the best way to store the trainers?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the pink colors from fading.
Can I use a waterproofing spray?
Yes, applying a spray specifically formulated for suede is recommended to help protect the material from environmental factors.
Troubleshooting
Visible surface stains on suede
Use a specialized suede eraser or a soft-bristled brush to gently buff the stained area.
Laces slipping during wear
Double-knot the laces to ensure a more secure fit or replace them with high-friction cotton laces.
Shoes feel tight after a long day
Loosen the lacing system along the midfoot to allow for natural foot swelling, which is common after extended periods of walking.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal fit, ensure you are selecting your standard adult UK shoe size. Since these sneakers feature suede uppers, it is highly recommended to apply a water-repellent spray specifically designed for suede before initial use to help prevent water damage and light staining. To clean, use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt. Avoid using harsh chemicals or machine washing, as this can degrade the suede finish and compromise the structural integrity of the shoe. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent material hardening.
