FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?

No, while they feature cushioning, these are primarily designed for lifestyle and everyday wear rather than professional long-distance running.

How should I clean the mesh upper?

Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and spot clean with a cloth dampened with water and mild detergent. Do not soak.

Do these trainers provide good arch support?

The integrated TPU reinforcements provide a good level of structural support, making them suitable for most daily walking activities.

Can the insoles be removed?

The insoles can generally be removed if you need to insert custom orthotics for personal comfort.

Are the materials breathable?

Yes, the layered mesh upper is specifically designed to facilitate breathability for added comfort during use.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt accumulation in the mesh upper

Use a dry soft brush to gently whisk away surface dust, then use a damp cloth with minimal soap to blot the stained area.

Laces coming loose throughout the day

Ensure the lace-up closure is pulled taut through all eyelets and consider using a double knot for added security.

Minor scuffs on metallic overlays

Wipe the area gently with a soft, slightly dampened microfiber cloth; avoid harsh chemicals which may strip the finish.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Distinctive retro-techwear design aesthetic
  • Highly breathable upper materials
  • Reliable, grippy rubber outsole
  • Comfortable cushioning for long-duration wear

Cons

  • Not specifically designed for professional athletic performance
  • Limited to lifestyle/casual use cases
  • Metallic overlays may show wear over time if improperly cared for

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Getting the best out of your trainers starts with a proper fit; ensure the laces are adjusted to your foot's width to utilize the TPU reinforcements effectively. For maintenance, keep the mesh and metallic overlays looking sharp by avoiding machine washing. Instead, spot-clean the upper with a soft-bristled brush, mild soap, and a damp cloth. For the rubber outsole, use a damp cloth or a soft brush to remove dirt or debris. Always air dry your trainers away from direct heat sources to prevent damage to the materials.
