FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, these are casual lifestyle shoes and do not provide the stability or impact protection required for running.
Do I need to wear socks with these?
While it is a personal preference, wearing low-cut or 'no-show' socks is recommended to improve comfort and hygiene.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
The UK 5.5 size is designed for a standard adult fit. If you are between sizes, consider trying them on with the type of socks you intend to wear most often.
Are these machine washable?
It is not recommended. Hand washing is the safest way to maintain the structural integrity of the canvas and rubber.
Do they provide good arch support?
The footbed is flat, which is characteristic of the Classic Slip-On series. Those requiring significant arch support may consider adding an aftermarket insole.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel slightly tight initially
Canvas material often stretches slightly with wear; try wearing them for short periods at home to break them in.
Visible dirt on the white checkers
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning foam or a mixture of baking soda and water applied with a soft toothbrush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These shoes are ready for use immediately out of the box. To ensure a proper fit, ensure you are wearing socks that match your preference for visibility. For care and maintenance, spot clean the canvas uppers using a soft-bristled brush and mild soap. Avoid putting them through a heavy-duty washing machine cycle, as this can degrade the rubber bonding. Allow them to air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources to prevent the canvas from warping or the glue from losing integrity.
