FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they follow standard UK adult sizing conventions.
Can I wash these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as it may compromise the frayed detailing and the structural integrity of the cotton.
Are they suitable for rainy weather?
No, the cotton material is porous and will absorb water, making them unsuitable for wet or rainy conditions.
How do I clean the white parts of the pattern?
Use a soft brush with a mild soapy solution to gently scrub the white checkered areas, ensuring you do not saturate the canvas.
Do I need to tie these shoes?
No, these are pull-on trainers and do not require laces.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty putting the shoe on
Ensure the heel tab is pulled fully upward to widen the entry, and consider using a shoehorn if the elastic holds tight during the initial wear.
Excessive fraying or loose threads
Carefully trim any long, stray threads with fabric scissors, but avoid pulling at the frayed edges to maintain the intended design.
Discomfort during long walks
The padded insole is designed for casual wear; for higher-impact activities, consider adding a thin aftermarket orthotic insert.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Being a UK size 5, they follow standard adult sizing conventions. To ensure longevity, store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the red pigment from fading. For cleaning, spot clean the cotton surface with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or harsh scrubbing, as this can damage the unique frayed detailing around the edges of the shoe.
