FAQs
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No. The suede material will be damaged by water saturation and machine agitation. Always use manual cleaning methods.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the suede upper is not waterproof. It is recommended to use a suede-safe water repellent spray if you intend to wear them in light rain.
Do these provide arch support?
The sculpted midsole provides more support than traditional flat-soled sneakers, though they are not marketed as orthotic footwear.
Is the size 5 true to fit?
Yes, they follow standard adult sizing, but individual foot shape can affect the fit across the reinforced eyestay area.
Can I use these for running?
These are designed as lifestyle trainers and are not intended for running or high-intensity athletic activities.
How do I remove mud from the tread?
Allow the mud to dry completely, then use a stiff-bristled brush to knock the debris out of the wavy tread pattern.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or flat
Use a specialized suede brush to fluff the fibers back to their original texture.
Laces feel loose after walking
Ensure the laces are pulled tight through the reinforced punched eyelets and double-knot if necessary to maintain tension.
Minor scuff marks on the midsole
Use a clean, damp cloth with a mild soap solution to gently wipe the rubber sidewall.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this model uses premium suede, keep the shoes away from excessive moisture and harsh chemicals to prevent staining or material degradation. To clean, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dirt; if deeper cleaning is required, use a dedicated suede cleaner and allow them to air dry away from direct sunlight. To maintain their shape, keep them in a cool, dry place and use shoe trees if storing them for extended periods. The size 5 fit is a standard adult size; for best results, pair these with mid-weight socks to ensure a comfortable fit across the reinforced eyestay.
