FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the Racer 80 is designed as a casual lifestyle trainer and lacks the technical cushioning and stability required for dedicated athletic running.
How do I clean the suede upper?
Use a dry, soft-bristled brush to remove dirt. For stubborn stains, use a suede-specific cleaning eraser or foam cleaner meant for natural leathers.
Are these true to size?
The Racer 80 generally fits true to size for most adults, though personal preference for sock thickness may influence your specific size choice.
Can I wear these in the rain?
It is not recommended. Suede can be damaged by water, and moisture may cause the color to bleed or the material to stiffen.
Are these unisex?
Yes, these are designed as unisex trainers, providing a fit and style suitable for all genders.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or dusty
Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap of the material.
Laces coming untied frequently
Ensure a double knot or use a runner's loop technique to secure the closure.
Footbed feels less supportive over time
Consider adding an aftermarket orthotic insert if additional arch support is needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers feature a standard lace-up closure allowing for a personalized fit. To ensure longevity, keep the shoes away from extreme heat sources. For maintenance, treat the suede upper with a dedicated suede protector spray before first use. If the shoes become dirty, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dust. Avoid machine washing or submerging the suede in water, as this can cause discoloration or material deformation.
