Are these trainers suitable for sports?

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

What does 'semi-transparent outsole' mean?
This refers to the outsole's appearance, where it is not fully opaque and allows some light to pass through, giving it a unique visual effect.
How should I store these trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using the original box or a shoe bag can help protect them from dust and damage.
Is the lining made from sustainable materials?
Yes, the lining is made from 70% Textile (Recycled Polyester) and 30% Synthetic (PU), incorporating recycled polyester.
Troubleshooting
Nubuck becoming stiff or discolored
Regularly brush the nubuck with a dedicated nubuck brush to maintain its texture and remove surface dirt. Address stains immediately with a nubuck eraser and avoid water.
Outsole scuff marks
Light scuff marks on the rubber or EVA outsole can often be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. For deeper marks, a magic eraser might be used cautiously on rubber parts.
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure the correct size has been selected. If new, break them in gradually by wearing them for short periods. Consider wearing thicker socks or using insoles if minor fit adjustments are needed.
Fraying laces
Replace worn laces with new ones of a similar length and material. You can purchase replacement laces from shoe retailers or online.
