FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing, fitting true to your normal athletic shoe size.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the suede and the adhesives holding the shoe together. Hand clean only.

Are these suitable for gym workouts?

While they are athletic-inspired, they lack the cushioning and stability features required for heavy weightlifting or high-impact training.

What is the primary material?

This model features suede overlays on the upper with a lightweight nylon base.

How do I protect the light-colored accents?

Use a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede to create a protective barrier.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or matted

Use a suede brush or a clean eraser to gently lift the nap of the suede material.

Gum rubber outsole picking up debris

Wipe the outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid harsh chemicals that can degrade the rubber compound.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Suede requires careful maintenance to stay clean

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these shoes utilize suede, it is important to keep them dry and away from heavy mud or water. To maintain their appearance, use a soft-bristle brush to remove surface dirt periodically. For deeper cleaning, apply a dedicated suede cleaner and protector spray before first use to prevent staining. When storing, keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the brown and gold colorway over time. The sizing is consistent with standard UK adult sizing, ensuring a predictable fit for most users.
