FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
These trainers are designed primarily for everyday comfort and casual wear. While they offer good support and cushioning, they are not specifically engineered for high-impact athletic activities like running, which may require specialized running shoes.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to the FitFlop size guide and measure your foot length. Compare this to the UK sizing provided. It is recommended to try them on if possible, as fit can vary slightly based on foot width and shape.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, construction, and the iQushion™ technology. Hand clean using the methods described in the care section.
How long does the iQushion™ cushioning last?
The iQushion™ technology is designed for durability and long-lasting comfort for everyday wear. Its lifespan depends on usage frequency and intensity. For typical daily use, it should provide effective support for a significant period.
What does 'Scotchgard™ protected' mean for the trainers?
Scotchgard™ protection is a treatment applied to the materials that helps repel water-based liquids, oil, and stains. This makes the trainers easier to clean and helps maintain their appearance by preventing absorption of spills.
Are there other color options available?
Yes, the Retro-Q series is available in various colors, including Beige, in addition to Brown. Please check the product listings for available color and size options.
Troubleshooting
Slightly tight fit on arrival
Wear the trainers around the house for short periods. The materials will naturally flex and mold to your foot shape over time. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size.
Suede appears discolored or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
While the iQushion™ technology is durable, extreme or prolonged heavy use may eventually affect its responsiveness. For daily wear, the cushioning should remain effective for a considerable period. Ensure feet are clean before wearing to avoid excessive dirt buildup within the shoe.
Water spots on suede
Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the texture. The Scotchgard™ protection should minimize this, but prompt blotting of spills is recommended.
