FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?
The FitFlop Retro-Q trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and everyday comfort. While they offer good support and cushioning, they are not specifically engineered for high-impact sports or running.
How do I clean the fabric and suede combination?
Use a suede brush for the suede parts and a damp cloth for the fabric. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Avoid machine washing or soaking.
What is the benefit of iQushion™ technology?
iQushion™ technology provides advanced cushioning with responsive support. It's designed to adapt to your movements, enhance comfort, and reduce the impact on your feet and joints.
Do these trainers offer good arch support?
Yes, the Retro-Q trainers feature natural arch support built into the ergonomic footbed to help optimize body alignment and provide comfort.
How long does the Scotchgard™ protection last?
Scotchgard™ protection offers initial resistance to stains and moisture. Its longevity depends on wear and exposure conditions. Periodic reapplication of a suitable protector might be considered for continued optimal performance.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
The Scotchgard™ protection offers some water resistance, making them suitable for light, brief exposure to wet conditions. However, they are not waterproof and prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended.
What is the heel height of these trainers?
These trainers feature a flat heel, consistent with a classic trainer design.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort after initial wear
Allow a break-in period of a few wears. The anatomical footbed needs time to mold to your foot's unique shape. If discomfort persists, check lacing for tightness and ensure the correct size is being worn.
Suede appears dirty or stained
Use a dedicated suede cleaner and brush. For stubborn stains, consult a professional shoe cleaning service. Avoid using water directly on suede unless specified by the cleaner.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness
Over time, cushioning can compress. Ensure the shoes are not being used for activities exceeding their intended casual use. Check for any debris trapped within the sole unit.
