FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the Speedcat is designed as a fashion lifestyle trainer and does not have the cushioning or stability features necessary for running.
How do I ensure the right fit?
These trainers are low-profile. If you have particularly wide feet, you may find the fit tight across the instep due to the strap design.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the adhesive bonding the rubber sole, which will ruin the shoes.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is crafted from high-quality leather, which provides a premium look and structure.
Are these unisex?
The specific model listed is designed for women, featuring a profile tailored for the female foot.
Does the strap serve a functional purpose?
The strap is primarily a design element that adds a luxe, motorsport-inspired aesthetic to the instep of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the leather upper
Use shoe trees when not wearing to help the material maintain its shape.
Dirt stuck in embossed logos
Use a soft-bristled brush, such as an old toothbrush, to gently dislodge debris from the logo crevices.
Difficulty putting on the shoe due to low profile
Use a shoehorn to preserve the heel cup structure and ease foot entry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: These trainers fit true to size as a standard low-profile shoe. Ensure you check your exact UK size, as the slim fit does not offer the same 'stretch' room found in knit sneakers.
Initial Care: Treat the leather with a protective spray before initial use to help repel moisture and dirt.
Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents that could strip the leather finish.
Storage: Keep away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or discolouring over time.
