FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, these are lifestyle trainers designed for casual wear and are not intended for high-performance running or intensive athletic activity.
How do I keep the 'Off-White' suede clean?
Use a suede-safe protective spray and clean regularly with a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt before it sets.
Do these trainers fit true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard sizing guidelines. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size for the best fit.
What is the meaning behind the heel cap branding?
The heel cap depicts the specific set scores from Billie Jean King's historic 1973 victory over Bobby Riggs.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the suede material and affect the shoe's structure. Always use hand-cleaning methods.
Troubleshooting
Surface dirt on the suede
Use a dry suede brush in circular motions to gently lift the debris from the nap of the material.
Small water stains
Let the shoes air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, then gently buff with a suede brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Billie Jean King trainers stay in top condition, follow these care steps:
- Protective Spray: Apply a suede-specific water and stain repellent spray before the first wear to guard against moisture and dirt.
- Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to lift surface dirt. For stubborn spots, use a dedicated suede eraser or a light damp cloth, but avoid over-saturating the material.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the suede colour over time.
- Compatibility: These shoes fit standard sizing. Ensure you check your UK sizing (e.g., 10.5) against your current comfortable footwear to ensure an optimal fit.
