FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
These are unisex trainers with a standard fit. While they have elasticated panels for some flexibility, individuals with very wide feet might find them snug. Checking customer reviews or trying them on is recommended.
How do I clean the linen material?
Gently spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid saturating the material. Allow to air dry naturally. For stubborn stains, consult a shoe cleaning guide for linen.
Can I wear these in the rain?
These trainers are not waterproof. The linen material can be affected by moisture. They are best suited for dry weather conditions.
What is the 'Off The Wall' heel label?

What is the primary advantage of the slip-on design?
The primary advantage is convenience and speed of wear, allowing you to easily slip them on and off without needing to tie laces.
Do these trainers offer good arch support?
These are casual lifestyle shoes and offer moderate support. For those needing significant arch support, consider adding insoles.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear them with socks for a short period to allow them to stretch slightly. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If still too tight, consider a size up.
Laces are missing (on other models, not applicable here)
N/A for this slip-on model. This model does not use laces.
Sole feels slippery on wet surfaces
