FAQs

How should I clean the suede parts of the trainers?

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove dry dirt and lift the nap. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner is recommended, applied sparingly according to its instructions. Avoid using water directly on the suede.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While inspired by running shoes, these trainers are best suited for casual wear and light activities. They do not offer the advanced cushioning and support found in modern dedicated running shoes.

What is the main benefit of the Aztec Heel detail?

The Aztec Heel detail is a design feature inspired by vintage Reebok models, adding a distinctive retro aesthetic to the shoe's overall appearance.

Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?

Due to the suede and nylon materials, these trainers are not ideal for wet weather. Suede is particularly susceptible to water damage and staining. It's best to wear them in dry conditions.

What does 'low-profile' mean in the context of these trainers?

A 'low-profile' design refers to a shoe that sits closer to the ground and has a generally slim, understated silhouette, characteristic of many vintage athletic shoes.

How do I care for the textured outsole?

The textured outsole can be cleaned with a stiff brush or a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris, ensuring optimal grip.

Are these trainers available in other colors?

Yes, this model is part of the Classic AZ range and is available in various colorways, including Black/White, Blue/Yellow, and Grey/Blue, among others.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or matted

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For persistent stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully.

Laces are worn or dirty

Replace worn laces with new ones. Clean existing laces by hand washing with mild soap and water, then air dry.

Trainer feels tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have the correct size. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods. Consider using thicker socks initially if the fit is slightly loose, or thinner socks if too snug.

Outsole grip seems reduced

Clean the textured outsole thoroughly with a brush or damp cloth to remove any embedded dirt or debris that may be reducing traction.
