FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally fit according to standard UK adult sizing, though some users prefer a slightly snug fit for casual wear.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended, as machine washing can damage the adhesive and structural integrity of the rubber sole and canvas.
Are these suitable for sports?
These are lifestyle trainers. While durable, they lack the specific cushioning and impact protection needed for high-intensity athletics.
Do they provide good arch support?
They offer a traditional, flat footbed. If you require significant arch support, consider adding an aftermarket insole.
Are they waterproof?
No, they are made from cotton canvas, which is breathable but will absorb water in wet conditions.
Troubleshooting
The shoes feel too stiff initially
Wear them for short periods around the house to allow the cotton canvas to soften and mold to your foot shape.
Canvas becomes dirty or stained
Use a soft-bristled brush or damp cloth with a small amount of non-bleach detergent, then air dry away from direct heat.
Laces constantly come untied
Double-knot the laces or ensure they are pulled tight across the eyelets to maintain a secure structure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers feature cotton canvas uppers, they are best suited for dry weather conditions. To ensure longevity, avoid machine washing; instead, spot-clean the canvas with a damp cloth and mild soap if they become soiled. Ensure the laces are adjusted properly to the tension that suits your foot arch to maximize comfort during your first few wears. Since these are unisex, ensure you refer to the UK sizing standard to match your foot measurement accurately.
