FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
No, the Mallet Union trainers are designed for street-style and everyday comfort, not for intense athletic performance like marathon running. For such activities, specialized running shoes are recommended.
What are the materials used in the Mallet Union trainers?
These trainers feature a combination of black ripstop underlay, leather overlays, reflective panel details, a mesh lining, and durable rubber soles.
How should I clean the reflective panels?
Gently wipe the reflective panels with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing, as this could damage the reflective coating.
What is included with the trainers?
The Mallet Union trainers come with branded lace tips, a dedicated trainer bag, a shoehorn, and a pair of spare laces.
Can I put these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash the trainers, as this can damage the materials and construction. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth is the preferred method.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The trainers are not fully waterproof, although the materials offer some resistance to light moisture. Consider using a water-repellent spray for added protection.
Troubleshooting
Laces won't stay tied
Ensure laces are tied securely using a standard knot. If the laces are slippery, consider using the spare laces provided, as they may have a different texture.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the rubber soles are clean and free from mud or debris. For new shoes, the soles may take a few wears to develop optimal grip. If slippage persists on smooth surfaces, consider the limitations of rubber soles in general.
Discomfort during initial wear
The trainers may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the correct size is being worn.

Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your Mallet Union trainers:
- Cleaning Uppers: Gently clean the textile and leather uppers with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the materials.
- Sole Maintenance: Wipe the rubber soles with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. For stubborn marks, a soft brush may be used.
