FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The TOMS CARLO trainers are designed for casual wear and light activity. While they offer cushioning, they are not specifically engineered for running and may lack the necessary support for high-impact athletic performance.
What does 'strobel construction' mean?
Strobel construction refers to how the upper part of the shoe is stitched to a fabric layer (the strobel), which is then attached to the midsole. This method often contributes to greater flexibility and a lighter feel.
How do I check if I have the correct UK size?
Refer to a standard UK shoe size chart and measure your foot length from heel to toe. The specified UK size is listed in the product details.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
The textile uppers are not waterproof. While they can handle light splashes, prolonged exposure to wet conditions is not recommended and may affect the material. Ensure they are dried thoroughly if they get wet.
What is the benefit of an Ortholite insole?
Ortholite insoles are known for their breathability, moisture-wicking properties, and long-lasting cushioning, helping to keep feet comfortable and dry throughout the day.
Are these trainers suitable for all seasons?
These trainers are best suited for warmer weather due to their breathable textile uppers. They can be worn in cooler seasons, but may not provide adequate warmth in very cold conditions.
How much do these trainers weigh?
The item weight is approximately 0.6 KG, making them a lightweight option for casual footwear.
Troubleshooting
Laces come undone frequently
Ensure laces are tied securely with a double knot. Consider replacing laces with a textured pair for better grip.
Slight discomfort after first wear
This is normal for new shoes. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in. The flexible construction and cushioned insole should adapt to your foot shape.
Difficulty cleaning textile uppers
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, mix a small amount of mild detergent with water and gently scrub the affected area with a cloth or soft brush. Rinse with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.
Shoe feels too narrow or wide
Adjust the lacing system for a more personalized fit. If the width remains an issue, these trainers are designed for a regular shoe width and may not be suitable for significantly wider or narrower feet.
