FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The Retro-Q trainers are designed for casual wear and comfort, not for specialized running or high-impact sports. Their cushioning is optimized for walking and daily activities.
How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
Use a suede brush to remove surface dirt. For stains, a dedicated suede cleaner is recommended. Avoid using water directly on the suede.
What is iQushion™ technology?
iQushion™ is FitFlop's advanced cushioning technology that provides responsive support, ergonomic design, and enhanced comfort to help optimize body alignment and natural movement.
Do these trainers offer arch support?
Yes, the iQushion™ midsoles are ergonomically engineered to provide natural arch support as part of their design for comfort and alignment.
Are the trainers waterproof?
The trainers feature Scotchgard™ protection, which offers some resistance to stains and light moisture. However, they are not fully waterproof and should not be submerged in water.
What is the primary material used in the Retro-Q trainers?
The trainers feature a mixed construction primarily using lightweight nylon and suede, creating a rich textural contrast.
Can I put these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended. Cleaning should be done by hand using a damp cloth and appropriate cleaners for suede and nylon.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort after initial wear
Allow a break-in period of a few wears. If discomfort persists, ensure you have the correct size and consider if the fit is suitable for your foot type.
Suede appears dirty or stained
Use a suede brush for light dirt. For stains, consult a suede cleaner guide or product. Avoid using water excessively on suede.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
While iQushion™ is durable, cushioning can naturally decrease with extensive use. Ensure the shoes are not being used for activities exceeding their intended purpose.
Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces
The grip is designed for everyday use. Be cautious on very wet or slippery surfaces, as with any casual footwear. Ensure the sole is free from debris.
