FAQs
Are these shoes unisex?

What material are they made of?
The upper is constructed from premium suede, providing both durability and a soft finish.
Do these run true to size?
Yes, they generally run true to size, though the extra padding may make them feel snug initially.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, you should never machine wash suede shoes, as this will destroy the material and the shape.
How do I protect the camouflage pattern?
You can use a water-repellent spray designed for suede to help protect against minor spills and dirt.
Is this model suitable for skating?
While it features the durable rubber waffle outsole of skate shoes, the premium suede is often preferred for casual streetwear wear.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dusty or matted
Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift the fibers and remove surface dust.
Sneakers feel too tight at the instep
The Knu Skool has thick padding; try loosening the laces significantly before the first wear to allow the tongue to settle.
Stains on the suede material
Use a specialized suede eraser or a dry cleaning sponge. Do not use soap and water, which can ruin the texture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are suede shoes, care is critical. To maintain the look of the suede and the vibrancy of the camouflage pattern, use a suede-specific brush to remove dirt after each wear. Avoid exposing them to heavy rain or mud, as water can permanently damage the suede nap. If the shoes get wet, air-dry them naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the material from cracking or stiffening. The trainers fit true to size for most adults, though the internal padding might make them feel slightly snug at first; allow a few days of consistent wear for the internal lining to mold to the shape of your feet.
