FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Most users find that the VaporWaffle fits true to size, but the layered upper may feel snug initially. If you prefer a wider fit, consider sizing up by a half size.

Can I use these for marathon running?

No. While they incorporate performance-inspired design elements, they are intended for lifestyle and fashion use, not professional athletic training.

How do I protect the suede from water?

Apply a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede before the first wear to provide a protective barrier.

Does the shoe come with extra laces?

Yes, many of the sacai collaborations include secondary lacing options to complement the deconstructed theme.

Is this a unisex model?

Yes, this model is designed for a unisex fit, though sizes are typically listed by standard adult UK sizing.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty getting feet into the shoe due to the dual-tongue design

Loosen the lacing system completely from the top to the toe box before putting the shoe on to provide maximum entry space.

Creasing appearing on the leather upper

Use shoe trees when not in use to help the shoe maintain its shape and minimize deep creases in the leather.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Bold, eye-catching design language
  • High-quality leather and suede materials
  • Versatile unisex fit
  • Exceptional attention to detail in the layered construction

Cons

  • Layered design may feel bulkier than standard sneakers
  • Light-colored midsole components can be prone to scuffing
  • Complex silhouette makes cleaning more time-consuming

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Proper care for your VaporWaffles will ensure the longevity of the materials. Given the leather and suede construction, avoid machine washing these trainers, as water and detergent can damage the texture of the overlays.

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dry dirt from the suede sections. Use a damp cloth with mild soap for the leather panels and the rubber midsole.
  2. Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the vibrant purple dye from fading or the midsole foam from yellowing prematurely.
  3. Compatibility: These trainers pair well with casual streetwear, such as tapered trousers or denim, allowing the complex design of the shoe to remain the focal point of the outfit.
