FAQs
What is iQushion™ technology?
iQushion™ technology refers to the advanced cushioning system in the midsole, ergonomically engineered to provide responsive support that adapts to your natural movement, enhancing comfort and optimizing body alignment.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
These trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and everyday activities. While they offer comfort and support for walking, they are not specifically engineered for high-impact running activities.
How do I clean the mixed materials?
Clean nylon areas with a damp cloth. Use a suede brush and appropriate cleaners for the suede parts. Avoid washing machines and submerging in water. Always air dry.
What does Scotchgard™ protection do?
Scotchgard™ protection helps to repel liquids and stains, making the trainers more resistant to spills and easier to keep clean. It adds a layer of durability against everyday wear and tear.
Can I wear these with orthotics?
The trainers offer natural arch support. While some users may find space for slim orthotics, the internal design and cushioning are optimized for the built-in support. It's recommended to try them on with your orthotics if possible.
What is the main inspiration for the RETRO-Q series?
The RETRO-Q series is inspired by the styling of old-school sneakers from the 1980s, combining vintage silhouettes with modern comfort technology.
What are the primary materials used?
The trainers feature a construction of lightweight nylon and suede, creating a textured and visually appealing contrast.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If the fit is still an issue after initial wear, consider if the specific shoe's shape suits your foot. Break them in gradually with short periods of wear.
Suede material appears dirty or matted
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove superficial dirt. For tougher marks, a suede eraser can be used cautiously. Avoid using water on suede.
Reduced cushioning or support over time
The iQushion™ technology is designed for durability. If you notice a significant decrease in comfort, ensure the trainers are not being used for activities beyond their intended purpose (e.g., intense sports). Consistent wear for everyday activities should maintain their performance for a considerable period.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While the grip is suited for everyday use, performance on very wet or slick surfaces may be limited. Exercise caution in such conditions. Ensure the sole is free from debris that could affect traction.
