FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance?
The Fred Perry B708 Tennis Shoe is designed with retro gym DNA but is best suited for casual everyday wear rather than high-impact athletic activities. They offer comfort and grip for walking and general daily use.
How should I clean the white canvas upper?
Gently wipe the canvas with a damp cloth and mild soap or a specialized canvas cleaner. Avoid excessive water and harsh scrubbing. Always allow the shoes to air dry completely.
What is the material of the sole?
The shoe features a vulcanised sole unit with a nimble gum outsole, designed for lightweight grip and durability.
Do these shoes come in other colors?
While this guide focuses on the White/Blue variant, Fred Perry often offers the B708 model in various colorways. Please check the product listings for available options.
What does the 'Laurel Wreath' signify?
The embroidered Laurel Wreath is an iconic hallmark of the Fred Perry brand, signifying its heritage and connection to sportswear and subcultural style.
How do I ensure I order the correct UK size?
Refer to the sizing guide available with the product details. The B708 Tennis Shoe is listed in UK adult foot sizes. It is recommended to measure your foot if unsure.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and try to re-tie them, ensuring they are not overtightened. If the tightness persists, consider if the size is appropriate or if breaking-in is required.
Canvas upper is stained
Gently spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap or a dedicated canvas cleaner. For stubborn stains, a soft brush can be used carefully. Always test cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area first.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the gum outsole is clean and free from debris. For new shoes, the outsole may require a short break-in period. If slipping persists on wet surfaces, exercise caution as rubber soles can have reduced grip when wet.
Embroidery is snagged
Carefully attempt to tuck the snagged thread back through using a fine needle. Avoid pulling on the snagged thread, as this can cause further damage to the embroidery.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for men and are compatible with a wide range of casual and sporty attire. They pair well with denim, chinos, shorts, and casual trousers.
Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Due to the canvas material, avoid harsh scrubbing. Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt. For tougher stains, a specialized canvas cleaner may be used sparingly.
- Sole Care: Wipe the gum sole with a damp cloth to remove dirt. Avoid prolonged exposure to excessive heat or direct sunlight, which can degrade the rubber.
- Laces: Remove laces for separate cleaning. Hand wash or machine wash on a delicate cycle in a garment bag.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Do not machine dry.
