FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

No, these trainers are designed for casual wear and style, not for athletic performance like running. They lack the specialized support and cushioning required for running.

How do I clean the black suede material?

Use a suede brush for dry dirt. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner and a slightly damp cloth are recommended. Always air dry and avoid soaking the material.

It is not recommended to wear suede trainers in heavy rain or wet conditions, as it can damage the material and cause staining. Using a suede protector spray can offer some resistance.

What does the 'All Star Classic Trainer' series signify?

Troubleshooting

Suede appears scuffed or dirty

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, consult a suede cleaning guide or product.

Laces become worn or dirty

Laces can be replaced with standard shoelaces. They can be hand-washed separately or replaced with new ones.

Discomfort during initial wear

New shoes can require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time as they conform to your foot.

Color transfer onto socks or clothing

This can occasionally happen with new dyed materials. Ensure shoes are completely dry before wear. Washing socks separately for the first few times may help.
