FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Runspark series generally fits true to standard UK sizing for adults.
Can I use these for long-distance running?
While inspired by track heritage, they are designed primarily as casual trainers and lack the advanced shock absorption required for long-distance endurance running.
How do I keep the white fabric clean?
Wipe them down after every few wears to prevent dirt from setting into the fabric fibers.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The Runspark has a slim, retro profile. If you have particularly wide feet, you may find them snug, though the materials may stretch slightly with regular wear.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles in most Runspark models can be removed if you need to insert your own custom orthotics.
Troubleshooting
The trainers feel too tight initially.
Ensure the laces are fully loosened before stepping into the shoe. Like most trainers, they may require a short 'break-in' period to conform to your foot shape.
The white exterior has picked up scuffs.
Use a specialized sneaker eraser or a gentle mix of dish soap and water to buff out minor surface marks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers come ready to wear out of the box. To ensure a long lifespan for your footwear, follow these care instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild leather or textile cleaner appropriate for the specific materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the colors from fading.
- Maintenance: If the trainers become wet, stuff them with newspaper or shoe trees and allow them to air dry naturally. Avoid using direct heat sources like radiators, which can deform the materials.
