FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the suede overlays and affect the shoe's structure. Always use hand-cleaning methods.
Can I wear these for running?
While durable for urban walking, they are designed primarily as lifestyle trainers and do not provide the technical support required for long-distance running.
How do I protect the suede from rain?
Use a water-repellent spray specifically formulated for suede and nubuck materials to prevent water staining.
Do the heel plugs serve a function?
On the original 80s models, they were adjustable for cushioning, but on modern versions, they serve as iconic design elements that pay homage to the original aesthetic.
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, most users find they fit true to size, though the retro shape is slightly more streamlined than modern athletic shoes.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt or dust on suede
Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift and remove debris in the direction of the grain.
Suede appears matted
Hold the shoe over steam from a kettle briefly and gently brush the suede to restore its texture.
Creasing at the toe box
Use shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the original shape and minimize deep creases.

- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
- Protection: Apply a suede-safe water and stain repellent spray before first use to create a barrier against the elements.
