FAQs
Is this a running shoe?
While it draws technology from track and field spikes, it is designed as a lifestyle sneaker for daily wear rather than for high-performance athletic running.
Does it have good arch support?
Yes, it features a TRUSSTIC support unit which provides structural stability and arch support.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Use a soft brush for dust and a damp cloth with leather-specific cleaner. Avoid fully immersing them in water.
Is the fit true to size?
The trainer features a 3-point fit structure that provides a secure, snug hold; it generally fits true to standard UK 9.5 sizing.
What is the primary material used?
The upper construction utilizes premium leather for durability and style.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight across the instep
The 3-point fit system is snug by design; try loosening the laces at the bottom eyelets to allow for more volume.
Leather showing creases or scuffs
Apply a leather conditioner regularly to maintain elasticity and use a matching black shoe cream to touch up minor surface scuffs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers last, follow these maintenance practices. Since the upper is constructed from leather, avoid submerging the shoes in water. Instead, use a soft, dry brush to remove loose dirt and a damp cloth with mild leather cleaner for surface scuffs. Ensure the shoes are kept away from direct heat sources when drying, as this can cause the leather to crack or lose its shape. Always check the sizing fit specifically for UK 9.5 before long periods of use to ensure proper arch placement of the TRUSSTIC system.
