FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they utilize performance heritage technology, they are designed as lifestyle trainers and are best suited for walking and daily wear.
Is the sizing unisex?
Yes, the model is designed as a unisex trainer; however, please verify your specific UK size conversion before purchase.
How do I clean the iridescent tiger stripes?
Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to gently wipe the stripes to avoid scratching the surface finish.
Does the shoe provide arch support?
The integrated cushioning system provides moderate support suitable for most neutral foot types during daily activities.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to swap them for custom orthotics if required.
Troubleshooting
Laces constantly coming untied
Ensure you are using a double-knot or replacing the laces with a slightly longer pair to allow for better tension control.
Creasing on the toe box
This is common with technical mesh materials; use a shoe tree when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the structure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers arrive ready to wear with a standard lace-up fastening system. To ensure the best fit, adjust the laces to accommodate your foot volume before the first use.
Care Instructions:
- Keep the mesh upper clean by gently wiping away dust with a dry brush.
- Avoid submerging the shoes in water, which can damage the delicate glossy overlays.
- If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent material warping.
- For stubborn marks on the sole, use a damp cloth with mild soap, ensuring you avoid the mesh areas.
