FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While they utilize running-specific technology like Adiprene+, they are marketed as lifestyle trainers; they are best for walking and casual wear.

How do they fit?

They generally fit true to size. If you have wider feet, you may consider a half-size increase due to the structured leather overlays.

Can I remove the insoles?

Yes, the insoles are removable, making it easy to accommodate custom orthotics or replace them.

What is the best way to clean the metallic details?

Use a damp cloth with water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges, as these can strip the metallic finish.

Are these made of real leather?

The trainers feature leather construction combined with synthetic materials to balance durability and aesthetic design.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on the leather upper

Use shoe trees when not wearing to help the material maintain its shape and reduce deep creases.

Discoloration of the mesh

Gently scrub with a solution of water and gentle detergent using a soft toothbrush, then dab dry with a clean cloth.

Laces coming undone

Ensure a secure double knot or look for flat cotton laces as a replacement to improve knot retention.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Retro Y2K running style
  • Responsive forefoot cushioning
  • Lightweight EVA midsole
  • Durable traction provided by the rubber outsole

Cons

  • Not intended for high-performance long-distance running
  • Requires regular maintenance to keep mesh clean
  • Specific sizing may vary by individual foot shape

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your trainers last, avoid machine washing, which can damage the leather and synthetic overlays. Instead, spot clean the mesh using a soft-bristled brush and mild soapy water. For the leather panels, use a designated leather conditioner to prevent cracking. Always air-dry your shoes away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to preserve the integrity of the foam cushioning and adhesives. If you use custom orthotics, the factory insole is removable, allowing you to swap it out for a more personalized fit.
