FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the Relay Fly Vent is designed primarily as a lifestyle and fashion sneaker, not for high-intensity running.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
We strongly advise against machine washing as it can damage the leather and the structural integrity of the shoe.
Are the shoes true to size?
Generally, yes. However, if you plan to wear thick socks, you may want to consider your standard sizing or try them on with similar hosiery.
Does the leather require special water-proofing?
Applying a high-quality water and stain repellent spray suitable for leather and fabric is recommended if you live in a damp climate.
What is the best way to store the trainers?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, ideally with shoe trees or paper stuffing to help maintain the silhouette.
Troubleshooting
Shoes becoming uncomfortable after long use
Consider replacing the factory insoles with high-quality orthotic inserts to increase arch support.
Leather showing scuff marks
Use a matching leather polish or cream to buff out surface-level scuffs and restore the finish.
Accumulated dirt in the mesh panels
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently dislodge trapped dust or debris from the textile areas.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the upper is constructed from leather and textile, maintaining the shoe's appearance requires regular attention. Always wipe away mud or surface dirt with a damp cloth immediately after use to prevent staining. For the leather sections, use a standard leather cleaner and conditioner to maintain suppleness and prevent cracking. Avoid machine washing, as the heat and agitation can damage the adhesive bonds and the leather integrity. Ensure the shoes are kept away from direct heat sources when drying to prevent the materials from becoming stiff or warping.
