FAQs

The primary material is suede, offering a premium and stylish finish.
Are these trainers suitable for actual running?
While they are inspired by running shoe designs and offer comfort, they are best suited for everyday wear and light activities rather than high-performance running.
How should I clean the suede upper?

Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Suede can stretch slightly over time with wear, but for immediate comfort, consider using shoe trees or thicker socks during initial wear.
Discoloration from water exposure
Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the texture. Apply a suede protector spray to help prevent future water spots.
