FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard adult sizing, though if you prefer a roomier fit, some users prefer to adjust based on their own preference for sock thickness.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended. Machine washing can damage the adhesive and the structural integrity of the shoe; manual spot cleaning is the safest method.
Are these suitable for gym use?
These are lifestyle shoes and do not provide the stability or technical support required for heavy weightlifting or high-impact athletic training.
How do I keep the Black canvas from fading?
Keep the shoes out of direct, prolonged sunlight when not in use and avoid using harsh chemical cleaners.
Do these come in other sizes?
Yes, the 48 Deck DX series is available in a variety of sizes; check the specific product listing to find your required UK size.
Troubleshooting
The fit feels slightly tight initially
Canvas shoes often have a break-in period; wear them for short durations indoors to allow the material to conform to your feet.
White soles are showing scuffs
Use a specialized rubber eraser or a cloth dampened with a gentle cleaning solution to remove surface-level scuffs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are slip-on shoes, there is no setup required; simply slide your feet in to begin wearing. They are compatible with standard cotton or no-show socks depending on your preferred style. To keep them looking their best, spot-clean the canvas with a soft-bristled brush, mild soap, and cold water. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can degrade the rubber vulcanization and the fabric. Air dry them in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight to prevent the Black fabric from fading prematurely.
