FAQs
Are these shoes actually made of leather?
No, these trainers are PETA-certified vegan and use synthetic materials designed to mimic the appearance and feel of suede.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the platform sole and ruin the tassel and pearl embellishments. Always clean by hand.
How high is the platform exactly?
The platform height ranges between 5 cm and 8 cm depending on the specific design curvature of the sole.
Are they true to size?
This model corresponds to UK size 5, which generally fits standard sizing. If you are between sizes, consider a thicker sock for a snug fit.
Are the pearls and tassels removable?
The embellishments are integrated into the lace design, so they are not intended to be removed.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty keeping laces tied
Double knot the laces or use a lace-locking accessory if the tassels interfere with the tension.
Surface marks on suede
Use a specialized suede eraser or a very soft, dry brush to gently lift the mark without rubbing too hard.
Soles feeling stiff
New rubber soles often require a short 'break-in' period; wear them for short durations indoors to soften the base.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your REFRESH trainers last, follow these guidelines:
- Initial Protection: Apply a protective spray designed for faux-suede before your first wear to repel water and dirt.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dust. For minor marks, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap, but avoid soaking the material.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
- Platform Care: Wipe the rubber soles with a damp cloth after outdoor use to maintain the crisp look of the platform.
