FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?

No, while they feature GEL technology for comfort, they are designed as lifestyle trainers and lack the advanced support required for dedicated long-distance running.

Are the materials waterproof?

The materials are durable and tear-resistant, but they are not marketed as waterproof.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if preferred.

What is the primary material used?

The upper is constructed from a combination of leather and synthetic materials for durability and style.

Do these come in different widths?

The standard models are built on a consistent athletic fit; please check your specific UK size for the best experience.

Troubleshooting

Outer material showing surface scuffs

Use a leather-safe cleaner or a soft brush to gently buff out superficial marks.

Shoes feel tight after long walks

Ensure the laces are adjusted properly and consider using thinner socks, as feet often expand during the day.

Interior odor

Remove the insoles and air them out; consider using an odor-neutralizing spray designed for footwear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers fit true to size. To ensure your shoes last, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the leather and synthetic surfaces with a damp cloth after exposure to mud or dirt.
  2. Drying: Air dry only. Do not place the shoes near direct heat sources like radiators, as this may damage the leather.
  3. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material fading.
  4. Rotation: If worn daily, consider rotating with another pair to allow the interior moisture to evaporate fully.
