FAQs
What inspired the VS-1 Contact Trainers?
The VS-1 collection takes inspiration from the radical DNA of early '00s match day style, specifically drawing cues from V1 football boots and the impact of contact with the ball.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While comfortable for daily wear and light activities, the VS-1 Contact Trainers are primarily designed for style and casual comfort, not for high-intensity running or professional athletic performance.
How do I clean the molded details?
Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe the molded details. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or brushes that could damage the texture.
What does 'Contact' in the name refer to?
The 'Contact' aspect of the name is inspired by the interaction and impact with a football, reflecting the design's football boot heritage.
Can I wear these trainers with athletic socks?
Yes, these trainers can be worn with various types of socks, including athletic socks, to enhance comfort during wear.
Is the width adjustable?

These trainers have a flat heel, providing a stable and grounded feel suitable for everyday activities.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel loose despite tightening
Ensure the lace cover is properly secured over the laces. If the issue persists, check the lace eyelets for any damage.
Discomfort after prolonged wear
Verify you have the correct size and width. Consider using insoles for added cushioning if needed. Break in the shoes gradually with shorter periods of wear.
Molded details feel stiff
This is a characteristic of the design. Wear the shoes for short periods to allow them to naturally conform to your foot's movement.
