FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?

These trainers feature a standard width. While the lace-up design allows for some adjustment, individuals with significantly wide feet may find them snug. It is recommended to try them on if possible or consult customer reviews regarding fit.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the faux-leather elements offer some protection, the suede upper is not waterproof and can be damaged by excessive moisture. It is advisable to avoid wearing these trainers in heavy rain and to use a suede protector spray for added water resistance.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is primarily made of suede, with faux-leather overlays for added detail and structure.

How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?

Use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a slightly damp cloth can be used carefully, followed by air drying. Applying a suede protector spray is recommended for ongoing care.

What is the sole made of?

The sole is a gum sole, providing good traction and a classic sneaker look.

Are these trainers good for walking long distances?

These trainers are designed for casual everyday wear and offer comfort for moderate walking. For extensive or strenuous walking, specialized walking shoes might be more appropriate.

What other colors are available for the Tastic trainers?

The Blowfish Malibu Tastic trainers are available in a range of colors and materials, including blue leather, black suede, leopard print, white/pink, and red faux leather, among others.

Troubleshooting

Laces coming undone frequently

Ensure laces are tied securely using a double knot. Consider replacing them with laces that have better grip if the issue persists.

Suede material looks dirty or stained

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift dirt. For tougher stains, consult a suede cleaning guide or a professional cleaner. Apply a suede protector spray regularly.

Discomfort after initial wear

Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods. Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly for a snug but not tight fit. Check for any internal seams or rough spots that may be causing irritation.

Gum sole becoming discolored

Clean the sole with a mild soap and water solution. Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals that might cause discoloration.
