FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the 997 is designed as a fashion sneaker for lifestyle and casual use, not for athletic running.
What is the primary difference between the 997 and 997H?
While both share the classic 997 silhouette, the 'H' designation usually denotes a modern update to the construction and materials used in the midsole and upper.
How do I determine my size?
These shoes follow standard UK/EU sizing conventions; we recommend choosing your normal size for sneakers.
Can the insoles be removed?
Yes, the insoles are generally removable, allowing for the use of custom orthotics if required.
How do I clean the white sections of the sole?
Use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution and scrub the rubber carefully, then wipe clean with a dry cloth.
Troubleshooting
Inner mesh feels tight or restrictive
Loosen the laces throughout the eyelets to allow the internal sleeve to expand and adjust to your foot width.
Surface scuffs on leather panels
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a soft brush to gently buff away minor marks; avoid harsh detergents.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers last, follow these guidelines:
- Lacing: Use the lace-up closure to customize the tension across your midfoot for a secure lockdown.
- Breaking In: These shoes generally fit true to size but may require a few hours of wear to break in the premium leather panels.
- Cleaning: Wipe down the nubuck and leather surfaces with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this can damage the structural adhesives and material integrity.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from fading or drying out.
