FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the iQushion™ technology?
The iQushion™ technology provides responsive cushioning and ergonomic support, designed to help optimize your body's alignment and natural movement, reducing fatigue during wear.
Are these trainers suitable for athletic performance?
These trainers are designed for everyday comfort and casual wear. While they offer good support and grip for daily activities, they are not intended for high-impact athletic performance or intense training.
How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
Use a soft suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner is recommended, but always test on a small, inconspicuous area first. Avoid getting the suede overly wet.
Will the Scotchgard™ protection wear off?
The Scotchgard™ protection offers initial resistance to stains and moisture. For continued protection, it is advisable to reapply a suitable protectant spray periodically, following the manufacturer's instructions.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the materials, construction, and cushioning technology. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth and appropriate cleaners for specific materials is the preferred method.
What does the mixed material construction offer?
The combination of lightweight nylon and suede creates a visually interesting textural contrast, contributing to the retro styling while offering a blend of durability and breathability.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The trainers feature Scotchgard™ protection, which offers resistance to light water and stains. However, they are not fully waterproof and should not be submerged in water.
Troubleshooting
Slight discomfort on first wear
The iQushion™ technology and ergonomic design may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time.
Suede appears dry or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift dirt and restore the texture. For stubborn marks, a suede cleaner can be used with caution.
Nylon upper shows discoloration
Wipe gently with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that can damage the material.
Traction feels reduced
Clean the sole of the trainers to remove any debris or mud that may be affecting grip. Check for excessive wear on the sole pattern.
