Product Information
Full details
The R21 Original Porto trainers are designed for men seeking a balance of casual sophistication and daily comfort. Featuring a memory foam sock liner and a flexible TPR sole, these trainers are ideal for both smart-casual office environments and relaxed weekend outings. While they provide excellent cushioning, users should note that the textile lining is best suited for dry-weather activities rather than heavy-duty outdoor work or wet conditions.

FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as immersion can degrade the memory foam and affect the shoe's structure. Surface cleaning is preferred.
Can I use these for running?
No, these are designed as lifestyle trainers for walking and casual wear, not for high-impact athletic performance or running.
Does the memory foam provide arch support?
The memory foam is designed for cushioning and comfort, though it will naturally contour to your arch to some extent.
Are the soles slip-resistant?
The TPR sole provides reliable grip on standard urban surfaces but is not specifically rated as industrial-grade slip-resistant footwear.
What should I do if the shoes get wet?
Stuff the interior with paper towels to absorb excess moisture and let them air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or heat.
Troubleshooting
The fit feels too loose after wearing
Re-tighten the laces using the 6-eye system to ensure proper mid-foot lockdown.
Memory foam feels compressed
Let the shoes rest for 24 hours between heavy usage to allow the memory foam to recover its shape.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- Versatile design suitable for multiple social settings
- Flexible sole provides a natural range of motion

Cons
- Textile lining is not water-resistant

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the best out of your Porto trainers, ensure the laces are adjusted to your preferred tension upon first wear, allowing the memory foam to settle into your foot shape.
Care Instructions:
- Regularly remove loose dirt or debris with a soft, dry brush.
- For stubborn stains on the textile upper, use a mild soap solution and a soft cloth; avoid soaking the shoes as this can damage the memory foam.
- Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the material.
- Store in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup within the lining.
