FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for high-intensity running?
No, the Court Shield II is designed primarily as a fashion-forward trainer and for light court use; it does not provide the specialized support required for long-distance running.
How do I determine if I have the right size?
There should be a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to ensure proper comfort.
Can I replace the insoles?
The insoles are designed for the specific cushioning profile of the shoe, but they can be removed if you require custom orthotics.
Does the leather require waterproofing?
While the leather is naturally resistant to light moisture, applying a non-silicone leather protectant spray can help repel water and prevent stains.
How should I clean the rubber outsole?
Use a soft brush and warm, soapy water to scrub the rubber, then wipe away any excess moisture with a clean cloth.
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing, but keep in mind that the leather construction may feel slightly snug at first compared to fabric sneakers.
Troubleshooting
The leather feels stiff after first wearing.
Wear the shoes for short periods indoors with thicker socks to gently stretch and soften the leather naturally.
Scuff marks appear on the black leather.
Use a black leather polish or conditioner to buff out minor scuffs and restore the uniform color.
Laces constantly come undone.
Ensure the laces are threaded properly through all eyelets and use a double knot if extra security is needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your K-SWISS trainers remain in peak condition, proper care is essential. Because the shoes are made of leather, avoid machine washing, which can damage the material and adhesives. Instead, wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt or debris. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft brush. Ensure the laces are adjusted to your preferred tension without overtightening, as this can put unnecessary stress on the eyelets. Store the trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from drying out or fading.
