FAQs
Are these shoes water-resistant?
No, suede is naturally porous. We recommend applying a suede protector spray before first use to improve resistance to moisture and stains.
How should I clean my black suede trainers?
Always use a dry suede brush to remove dirt. If deeper cleaning is needed, use a suede-specific foam cleaner, following the product instructions carefully.
Can I replace the insoles?
The Osaka series is designed for a consistent fit, but standard orthotic insoles can typically be swapped in if they fit the interior volume of the shoe.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
While the suede material will stretch slightly over time to accommodate the foot, these are generally designed for standard foot widths.
What is the best way to store these trainers?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, ideally using shoe trees to help them maintain their original shape.
Troubleshooting
Visible dust or debris on the surface
Use a specialized suede brush to gently sweep away particles; do not use water.
Suede feels stiff after being wet
Once dry, use a suede brush to re-lift the fibers and restore the soft texture.
Minor scuffs or marks
Apply a suede eraser specifically designed for delicate leathers to lift marks before brushing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers are made from genuine suede, avoiding water and heavy salt exposure is critical to maintaining the material's integrity. For the initial setup, it is recommended to apply a suede-specific protective spray to create a barrier against dust and light moisture. To clean, use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently lift dirt particles in the direction of the nap. If the shoes become damp, allow them to air dry slowly away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can cause the suede to harden or lose its shape. These shoes are compatible with most standard socks and are designed to accommodate a standard UK size 6 foot comfortably.
