Are these shoes suitable for serious running?
While they offer performance features and cushioning, they are primarily designed to fuse lifestyle functionality with iconic design. For competitive or high-mileage running, dedicated performance running shoes might be more appropriate.
How should I clean the suede parts of the shoe?

Troubleshooting
Suede losing texture or looking matted.
Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush in a consistent direction. For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser carefully.
Shoe feels too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have the correct size. Try wearing them with the intended type of socks. Some materials may require a brief break-in period.
Dirt or stains on the printed pattern.
For printed areas, gently wipe with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid scrubbing vigorously, which could damage the print.
Color transfer from suede to socks.
This can happen with new suede, especially in damp conditions. Allow the shoes to dry completely. You may also consider using a suede protector spray (test in an inconspicuous area first).
