FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for high-intensity running?
While inspired by 70s running aesthetics, these are designed for daily lifestyle wear rather than performance athletic running.
How do I ensure the right fit for UK 6.5?
The sizing follows standard UK adult sizing; ensure you wear the same type of socks you plan to use daily when trying them on.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it will damage the suede material and structural integrity of the trainers.
Does the suede material come pre-treated?
While some manufacturing processes involve surface treatment, it is highly recommended to apply your own protective suede spray to ensure full coverage.
Is the heel height comfortable for long walks?
Yes, the trainer is designed with a lightweight and responsive midsole meant to provide comfort during extended periods of walking.
Troubleshooting
Visible dust or dry dirt on the surface
Gently use a suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface particles.
Water spots on the suede
Lightly dampen the entire surface area with a soft sponge, then let it dry naturally to even out the appearance.
Laces becoming loose during wear
Ensure a double knot is used, or consider replacing the laces with a different texture if they are prone to slipping.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers last, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Initial Protection: Apply a suede-specific water and stain repellent spray before first use to create a protective barrier.
- Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and debris. For deeper cleaning, use a suede cleaner and a soft cloth, blotting gently rather than rubbing.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the suede color over time.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, air dry them naturally at room temperature. Never use a hairdryer or direct heat source, as this may warp or damage the material.
