Are these shoes suitable for playing tennis or other sports?
While inspired by classic tennis shoes, the Killshot 2 is designed as a lifestyle shoe for everyday wear and is not recommended for intense athletic performance.
How should I clean the gum rubber sole?
Wipe the gum rubber sole with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, a soft brush and a mild cleaning solution can be used gently.
What is the benefit of the gum rubber outsole?
The gum rubber outsole provides durable traction and is designed to effectively hide scuffs and scrapes, contributing to the shoe's longevity and appearance.
How do I maintain the leather upper?
Wipe the leather upper with a slightly damp cloth regularly. Avoid harsh chemicals. Using a leather conditioner occasionally can also help maintain suppleness.

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If the tightness persists, the leather may need a break-in period. Consider using a shoe stretcher or wearing them for short periods initially.
Leather creasing excessively
Creasing is natural with leather. To minimize it, use shoe trees when not wearing the shoes and avoid overly flexing the shoe when walking.
Gum sole scuff marks are noticeable
While designed to hide scuffs, deep marks can be gently cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. For persistent marks, a specialized sole cleaner might be effective.
Stitching appears loose
Inspect the stitching carefully. If it is a minor loose thread, it can often be carefully trimmed. For significant issues, contact customer support or a cobbler.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for adult men and are compatible with standard sock sizes. Their versatile style makes them compatible with a wide range of casual and smart-casual attire.
Care:
- Cleaning the Leather Upper: To maintain the appearance of the smooth leather, regularly wipe the shoes with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the leather.
- Sole Care: The gum rubber outsole can be cleaned with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a soft brush may be used gently.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources, such as radiators or hairdryers, as this can cause the leather to crack or warp.
- Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place when not in use. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
