FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard sizing; however, since they are slip-ons, it is recommended to ensure your heel does not lift significantly.
Can I wear these without socks?
While you can, wearing them without socks may lead to moisture buildup; low-cut liner socks are recommended for comfort and hygiene.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, they are primarily made of canvas and are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain.
How do I clean the white rubber part of the sole?
A magic eraser or a mixture of water and mild soap on a toothbrush works effectively to remove dirt from the white rubber sidewalls.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The classic design has a standard width, but the canvas material typically stretches slightly over time to accommodate various foot shapes.
Troubleshooting
Heel slippage during walking
Try wearing thicker socks or using an adhesive heel grip to fill the extra space.
Stiff fabric around the ankle
Gently massage the canvas around the opening to soften the material, or wear them for short periods at home to break them in.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Because they are slip-ons, no initial adjustment is required, though you may prefer to use a shoe horn during the first few wears to protect the heel counter. To keep them looking fresh, spot clean the canvas upper with a mild detergent and a soft brush. Avoid machine washing, which can compromise the adhesive bonds. If the rubber sidewalls become scuffed, a damp cloth with a bit of baking soda is usually sufficient to restore their brightness.
