FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard sizing; however, since they are canvas, they may feel slightly snug until broken in.
Can I use these for sports?
These are primarily lifestyle trainers. They are suitable for light walking but are not designed for high-intensity athletic activities.
How do I keep the white parts of the pattern clean?
Spot clean the white sections with a mixture of mild detergent and water, then wipe dry immediately.
Are the insoles removable?
The insoles are fixed to the base of the shoe to ensure long-term stability during wear.
Do these provide arch support?
They provide basic support suitable for casual wear, but they do not have advanced orthopedic arch support.
Troubleshooting
Stiffness upon first wear
Wear the trainers for short intervals at home to allow the canvas to gradually conform to your foot shape.
Accumulation of dust in the waffle tread
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently dislodge debris from the grooves of the outsole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
When you first receive your shoes, ensure the laces are adjusted to your preferred tension to accommodate the high-top structure. For cleaning, wipe the canvas upper with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid machine washing to prevent structural damage or adhesive deterioration. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the vibrant colors of the checkered pattern. If the shoes become damp, air-dry them naturally at room temperature, keeping them away from direct heat sources such as radiators, which can warp the rubber.
