FAQs
How do I clean the hairy suede upper?
For routine cleaning, use a suede brush to gently remove dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and eraser, following the product's instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Are these shoes suitable for rainy weather?
Suede is not water-resistant and can be damaged by rain. It is recommended to avoid wearing these shoes in wet conditions. If exposed to moisture, allow them to air dry naturally.
What is the fit like for the Campus 00s?
These shoes feature a 'regular fit,' designed to be comfortable for most foot types. They offer enough room without being overly loose, allowing for typical daily activities.
Can I use these trainers for skateboarding or other sports?
While the original Campus line had roots in court and skate culture, the Campus 00s are primarily designed for casual, streetwear fashion and comfort. They are not intended for high-performance sports or rigorous activities.
How do I prevent the gum sole from marking floors?
The gum rubber sole is designed not to leave marks on most indoor surfaces. Regular cleaning of the outsole can help ensure it remains free of debris that might transfer to floors.
Do I need to break them in?
While the Campus 00s are generally comfortable from the start due to their regular fit and textile lining, a short break-in period of casual wear can help them conform perfectly to your feet.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or matted
Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap. Brush consistently in one direction to lift flattened fibers.
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lace closure. Ensure laces are evenly tightened across the foot for optimal comfort and fit.
Suede has minor scuffs or marks
Use a dedicated suede eraser to gently rub away superficial marks. For tougher scuffs, follow up with a suede brush.
Gum outsole looks dirty or loses grip
Clean the outsole with a damp cloth or a soft brush and mild soap. This will help remove accumulated dirt and restore traction.
Shoes got wet and appear stiff
Stuff the shoes with paper towels to absorb excess moisture and help retain their shape. Allow them to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat sources. Once dry, gently brush the suede.
