Are these shoes suitable for running or high-impact sports?

How should I clean the suede parts of the shoe?
Use a suede brush for regular cleaning. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and avoid soaking the material. Always allow suede to air dry naturally.

Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner following product instructions.
Shoe feels tight
Wear with thin socks initially. If the shoe is consistently too tight, consider using thicker socks or exploring professional stretching services. Note that different material variants (e.g., all leather vs. suede with leather) may have slight fit variations.
Gum sole is discolored
Clean the sole with a damp cloth and mild soap. Stubborn marks may require a specialized sole cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals.
