Product Information

Full details

The Superga 2790 Platform trainers are designed for individuals seeking an elevated, leg-lengthening aesthetic without sacrificing the classic comfort of a canvas sneaker. Featuring a substantial 4 cm vulcanized rubber sole and a durable cotton canvas upper, these shoes offer a versatile, fashion-forward look suitable for casual or smart-casual outfits across all seasons. A primary caveat for new users is that the platform sole adds significant weight and rigidity compared to standard flat-soled sneakers, which may require a short breaking-in period.

FAQs

Are these shoes heavy to wear?

Due to the 4 cm platform, they are heavier than traditional flat Superga 2750s, but most users find the weight manageable after a few days.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

Machine washing is generally discouraged as it can weaken the vulcanized bond between the sole and the canvas. Hand cleaning is recommended.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The cotton canvas upper is relatively flexible, but the structured rubber sole may feel narrow for those with very wide feet.

Are the materials truly vegan?

Yes, the 2790 series is constructed using 100% vegan-friendly materials and cruelty-free manufacturing processes.

Do I need to size up for the platform model?

Superga generally runs true to size. If you are between sizes, we recommend sticking to your standard UK size.

Can I wear these in the winter?

The cotton upper is breathable and not waterproof, so they are better suited for dry conditions rather than snow or heavy rain.

Troubleshooting

Sole feels stiff during first use

This is normal for vulcanized rubber. Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to gradually flex the sole.

Canvas becoming discolored

Use a specialized canvas cleaner or a mild mixture of baking soda and water; avoid bleaching agents which can damage the fabric.

Laces coming undone frequently

Since these are cotton laces, ensure a tight double knot or consider swapping to elasticated laces if the standard fit feels too loose.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For the best fit, ensure you select your standard UK size. Since these are canvas shoes, they are best kept clean by avoiding heavy machine washing which can compromise the glue in the vulcanized sole. If they become stained, use a gentle brush with mild soap and cold water, allowing them to air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent the rubber from warping. Being unlined and made of cotton, they are naturally breathable, but using moisture-wicking socks is recommended during warmer months to keep the interior fresh.
