FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for playing basketball?
These trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear; while they take inspiration from basketball silhouettes, they are not intended for competitive court performance.
How do I determine my correct size?
The trainers use UK sizing, but labels inside the box may reference US or EU sizes. Compare the UK size listed on your box with your standard UK shoe size.
Can I wear these in the rain?
The synthetic leather upper is water-resistant to a degree, but the shoes are not waterproof. Avoid heavy rain to prevent moisture from entering through the mesh sections.
What is the benefit of the mid-cut design?
The mid-cut height provides extra coverage and a more secure feeling around the ankle compared to a traditional low-top shoe.
Are these shoes unisex?
Yes, many models in the Hoops series are categorized as unisex, but it is recommended to check the specific size and gender classification provided on your product packaging.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty putting on the shoe due to the mid-cut design
Loosen the laces down to the second or third eyelet to open the collar fully before inserting your foot.
Upper material showing signs of scuffing
Use a specialized synthetic leather cleaner or a damp cloth with mild soap; avoid harsh chemical solvents.
Feeling of discomfort or rubbing at the heel
Ensure your socks are the correct thickness and that the laces are tied securely to prevent the foot from sliding within the shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longest life for your trainers, follow these care instructions:
- Initial Fit: Always test your shoes on a clean surface before wearing them outdoors. Note that sizing labels may display US or Euro sizing, which differs from the UK sizing standard; verify your fit carefully.
- Cleaning: Wipe the synthetic leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. Use a mild soap solution for stubborn marks, but avoid soaking the material.
- Maintenance: Do not machine wash or dry your trainers, as heat can warp the construction and damage the adhesive. Air dry at room temperature away from direct sunlight.
- Storage: Keep them in a cool, dry place and use a shoe tree or insert paper to help them maintain their shape when not in use.
