FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The shoes are designed to face the elements and offer warmth and grip on slippery surfaces, but they are not fully waterproof. They can handle light rain or wet conditions but are not intended for submersion in water.
What is the primary use case for these trainers?
Their primary use is for stylish and comfortable everyday wear in urban environments, particularly in colder or wet weather, thanks to their warm lining and grippy outsole.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by the retailer. These are unisex adult trainers, and sizing is typically based on UK men's or women's foot sizes.
Can I wear these for running?
While they offer good grip, they are not designed as specialized running shoes. They are best suited for walking and casual activities.
How should I clean the synthetic nubuck upper?
Gently wipe with a damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Always air dry.
What kind of grip does the outsole provide?
The rubber outsole features a deep traction pattern designed to provide optimal grip on slippery surfaces common in urban settings, such as wet pavements or city streets.
Is the lining removable?
The ultra-soft fabric lining is integrated into the shoe's construction and is not designed to be removable.
Troubleshooting
Slight stiffness upon first wear
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in and conform to your foot shape. The soft lining should help speed up this process.
Traction seems reduced on certain surfaces
Ensure the outsole is clean. Remove any mud, dirt, or debris that may be trapped in the tread pattern. Periodically brush the outsole.
Feet feel too warm on milder days
These shoes are lined for warmth. For warmer weather, consider socks with moisture-wicking properties or alternative footwear designed for breathability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Suitable for adult unisex wear. They are designed for general urban walking and casual use. While inspired by court shoes, they are not specialized for high-impact sports.
Care Instructions:
- Wipe the synthetic nubuck upper with a slightly damp cloth to remove surface dirt.
- For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
- Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
