FAQs

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is primarily made of linen, providing breathability and a lightweight feel.

Are these suitable for running?

These trainers are designed for casual wear and everyday comfort, not for high-impact running or athletic training.

How do I clean mud off the waffle sole?

Use a brush to remove loose mud. For stubborn dirt, use a damp cloth and mild soap, then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth. Allow to air dry.

Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?

While the linen material offers some breathability, these trainers are not waterproof and are best suited for dry or lightly damp conditions. Avoid heavy rain.

What is the main color of the trainers?

The main color is brown, with accents of beige, light British tan, aluminum, and pale ivory.

What is the significance of the 'Waffle' in the name?

The name comes from the iconic waffle outsole pattern, inspired by Nike co-founder Bill Bowerman's waffle iron, providing excellent traction and durability.

Are these trainers unisex?

While listed with 'Male' gender attributes in some variations, the design and style are broadly appealing and can be worn by anyone who appreciates the fit and aesthetic.

Troubleshooting

Laces come undone frequently

Ensure laces are tied with a secure double knot. Consider replacing with laces that offer better grip if the issue persists.

Discomfort on longer walks

Break in the shoes gradually. Ensure the lacing is adjusted for a snug but not overly tight fit, and consider using cushioned insoles if needed.

Material appears worn or faded

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry as per care instructions. Use a suede brush on suede accents if present.
