FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for athletic training?
The RETRO-Q trainers are designed for everyday comfort and light activity, featuring supportive iQushion™ technology. They are not intended for high-impact athletic training or sports.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to the FitFlop sizing chart and measure your foot from heel to toe. Consider the width of your foot as well. The UK size 9 is a specific measurement; compare it to your usual footwear for a good starting point.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the mixed materials, cushioning technology, and overall structure of the trainers.
What is the main benefit of iQushion™ technology?
iQushion™ technology provides advanced cushioning and responsive support that is ergonomically engineered to work with your body's natural movement, optimizing alignment and enhancing comfort.
How durable is the Scotchgard™ protection?
Scotchgard™ protection provides initial resistance to stains and moisture. For continued protection, it is recommended to reapply the protector periodically, especially after cleaning or prolonged use.
What type of socks should I wear with these trainers?
You can wear these trainers with or without socks. If wearing socks, thinner, breathable options are generally recommended to complement the shoe's comfort features.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially.
The mixed materials might require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially, and they should adapt to your foot shape.
Suede appears discolored after cleaning.
Ensure you are using a suede-specific cleaner or a very gentle method. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first. Allow suede to dry naturally and then brush gently to restore texture.
Reduced grip on slippery surfaces.
While designed for everyday grip, performance on extremely slick surfaces may vary. Ensure the soles are clean of debris. For increased traction on wet surfaces, consider a professional re-sole or a grip-enhancing spray.
