FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While the Waffle Racer was originally a runner, this modern version is designed as a lifestyle trainer and is not recommended for high-mileage or technical distance running.

How do I ensure I get the right fit?

The Waffle Racer generally fits true to size. If you prefer a looser fit or wear thicker socks, consider opting for a half-size larger.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and the foam midsole. Hand cleaning is the safest method.

What is the primary material used?

The upper is constructed from lightweight, durable nylon, complemented by a rubber outsole.

Are they waterproof?

No, the nylon upper is breathable and will allow water to penetrate if walking through heavy rain or puddles.

Do these provide high arch support?

The shoe features a standard foam midsole for general comfort, but it does not have aggressive orthopedic arch support.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt on the white nylon upper

Gently clean with a solution of mild soap and water using a microfiber cloth, avoiding excessive soaking.

Sole has lost its grip due to debris

Use a toothpick or small brush to dislodge small rocks or mud trapped within the waffle-patterned lugs.

Creasing at the toe box

Use shoe trees when not in use to help the nylon retain its shape over time.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Classic retro design fits various wardrobe styles
  • Lightweight construction for all-day comfort
  • Reliable traction provided by the rubber Waffle sole
  • Soft foam cushioning minimizes foot fatigue

Cons

  • Low-profile design lacks high-arch structural support
  • Nylon upper may be less water-resistant than leather alternatives
  • Not intended for high-intensity gym workouts or long-distance running

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers are true to size; consult the size guide to match your standard UK shoe size. To maintain the appearance of the nylon and rubber components, avoid machine washing. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the outsole. For the upper, gently dab spots with a damp cloth and mild soap. Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to prevent warping of the foam midsole or damage to the fabric adhesives.
