FAQs

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is constructed from a combination of leather, synthetic fabric, and mesh for a blend of durability and breathability.

Are these suitable for playing basketball?

While the 550 series has a basketball-inspired design, they are primarily recommended for casual wear and light activities, not high-performance athletic play.

How do I clean the suede parts of the shoe?

Use a suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner applied with a clean cloth is recommended. Allow to air dry.

What is the best way to ensure a good fit?

Utilize the adjustable lace closure to customize the fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks for your desired comfort level.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the materials and construction. Spot cleaning and hand washing are preferred.

What kind of socks should I wear with these?

You can wear most types of socks. Thinner socks might be preferable if you find the shoes run a bit narrow, while standard athletic socks offer good comfort for casual wear.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are not pulled too tight. If the issue persists, consider wearing thinner socks or exploring options for wider-fit models if available.

Suede material getting dirty

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove dry dirt. For stains, apply a small amount of suede cleaner with a clean cloth and let it dry naturally. Protect with a suede protector spray for future use.

Soles losing grip

Clean the rubber sole with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that may be reducing traction.
