Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
These are primarily designed as lifestyle and casual trainers, not as technical performance running shoes.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
Refer to the standard UK sizing guide. As with most leather and textile sneakers, they should feel snug but not restrictive around the midfoot.
Can I use these in the rain?
While the rubber sole provides decent grip, they are not waterproof. It is best to avoid heavy rain to protect the materials.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard sizing; however, individual foot width can vary the fit.
What is the primary material used for the upper?
The New York series typically features a combination of durable textiles and reinforcement materials consistent with classic trainers.
Troubleshooting
Accumulation of dirt on white accents
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning foam and a soft-bristled brush to gently scrub the affected areas.
Creasing in the upper material
Use shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the original shape and minimize deep creases.
Slippage on certain indoor surfaces
Ensure the rubber outsole is free of wax or debris; wipe with a damp cloth and dry before walking on polished surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers require no specific setup; simply ensure you have selected the correct UK sizing for your foot. To maintain their appearance, wipe the black upper with a soft cloth to remove dust and debris. For the white accents, a dedicated sneaker cleaner or a mild soap solution applied with a soft brush can help prevent discoloration. Avoid putting these trainers in a washing machine, as the heat and agitation can compromise the materials and adhesive. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent premature fading of the black pigments.
