FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While inspired by racing heritage, these are designed as lifestyle sneakers and are not intended for high-intensity or distance running.
How should I clean the suede portions?
Use a dry suede brush to remove dirt. For stains, use a suede eraser; avoid getting the suede wet, as it may damage the material.
Are these unisex trainers?
Yes, the Racer 80 series is designed as a unisex model to accommodate various foot shapes and styles.
Do they provide good arch support?
They feature a standard, supportive low-profile design, but they do not contain heavy-duty orthotic arch support. Users with specific needs can insert their own aftermarket insoles.
Are the materials waterproof?
No, the suede and nylon combination is not waterproof. It is recommended to avoid heavy rain or puddles to maintain the integrity of the materials.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming untied frequently
Use a double knot or replace with slightly textured athletic laces to improve grip.
Suede looks dull or matted
Gently rub the affected area with a soft-bristled suede brush to lift the nap and restore the texture.
Foot feels slightly loose
Use the extra eyelet at the top of the lace-up closure to perform a 'runner's loop' or heel lock to secure the ankle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Racer 80 trainers stay in peak condition, follow these guidelines:
- Initial Fit: Since these are standard lace-up trainers, ensure you wear the same type of socks you intend to use daily when trying them on for size.
- Cleaning Suede: Avoid soaking the suede sections in water. Instead, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust. For deeper stains, use a dedicated suede eraser or a light application of a suede-safe cleaner.
- Moisture Protection: Applying a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede can help preserve the material's appearance in light rain.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the vibrant colors from fading over time.
