FAQs
What material are these trainers made of?
The upper is a combination of light grey suede and white faux leather, with synthetic materials for the lining and other details.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
These trainers are designed with a retro running aesthetic for style and casual comfort, not for high-performance athletic running.
How do I clean the suede parts?
Use a specialized suede brush for dry dirt. For stains, a dedicated suede cleaner is recommended. Always test any cleaning product on a small, hidden area first.
What is the heel height?
The heel height is flat.
What does the '5.5 UK' in the title refer to?
This refers to the specific size of the trainers being described, which is a UK size 5.5.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the materials offer some protection, suede can be damaged by excessive moisture. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain and consider using a suede protector spray.
What is the primary colour of the trainers?
The primary colour is grey, with significant white paneling and electric blue stripes as secondary colours.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Gently brush the suede with a suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow its instructions carefully.
White sole is scuffed
Use a magic eraser or a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap to gently scrub away scuff marks on the white midsole.
Discomfort after initial wear
Ensure laces are adjusted for a comfortable fit. If discomfort persists, the shoes may need a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow them to mold to your feet.
Colour transfer from blue stripe
This is unlikely with quality manufacturing, but if minor transfer occurs, try cleaning the affected area gently with a damp cloth. Avoid prolonged contact with light-coloured materials when the shoes are new or wet.

Compatibility:
These trainers are designed for casual wear and are compatible with a wide range of casual and smart-casual outfits. They are intended for adult use.
Care:
- Suede Cleaning: Use a suede brush to remove dry dirt and dust. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner may be necessary. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.
- Faux Leather & Accents: Wipe clean with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Soles: Clean the rubber sole with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt on the caramel base, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by a thorough wipe with a clean, damp cloth.
- Laces: If laces become dirty, they can be removed and hand-washed or machine-washed on a delicate cycle in a laundry bag. Allow them to air dry completely before re-lacing.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag to protect them from dust and moisture. Avoid direct sunlight for extended periods, which can fade colours.
