Product Information
Full details
These FitFlop Retro-Q trainers in black are designed for adult females seeking a blend of sporty seventies style and modern comfort. The key benefit is the ultra-lightweight Anatomicush? midsole offering excellent cushioning and support for all-day wear. A minor consideration is that while the metallic fabric and suede offer a contemporary finish, care should be taken to maintain their appearance. Key features include a mixed fabric-and-suede construction, iQushion™ technology for responsive support, ergonomic engineering for optimal body alignment, advanced cushioning, natural arch support, Scotchgard™ protection, and everyday grip.

FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
These trainers are designed for casual wear and light activity. They provide excellent cushioning for walking and everyday use but are not specialized for high-impact running.
How do I know if I have the correct size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by FitFlop. The UK 5.5 size is specific to this listing. Ensure your heel is comfortably at the back and there is adequate room in the toe box without feeling loose.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning technology.
What does Scotchgard™ protection do?
Scotchgard™ treatment helps to repel water-based liquids and protect against stains, making the trainers easier to clean and maintain their appearance.
How flexible is the sole?
The sole is designed to be ultra-flexible, intended to move naturally with your foot. This flexibility contributes to comfort during walking and everyday activities.
What is the heel height?
The heel height is flat, contributing to the trainers' comfortable and stable feel for casual wear.
What is the main difference between Anatomicush? and iQushion™ technology?
Anatomicush? refers to the overall ultra-lightweight and flexible sole technology designed for natural foot movement, while iQushion™ specifically refers to the advanced cushioning and responsive support within the midsoles that align with your body's natural movement.
Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort after initial wear
Allow a short break-in period for the Anatomicush? midsole to conform to your foot. Wear for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time.
Suede appears matted or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, consult a specialist suede cleaner.
Laces become frayed or worn
Replace laces with standard athletic or casual shoe laces of a similar length and color.
Reduced water or stain resistance
Reapply a fabric protector spray designed for footwear, ensuring it is compatible with suede and nylon materials. Follow the product's instructions carefully.
