FAQs

The insoles are designed for optimal comfort with the shoe, but they can be replaced with orthotics if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For the best fit, ensure you select your standard UK size as these trainers are designed for a reliable, true-to-size feel. To maintain the vibrant yellow and red finish, avoid machine washing. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust and a damp cloth with mild soap for localized spots. Keep the shoes away from prolonged direct sunlight when storing to prevent fading. Ensure the laces are tightened appropriately to secure the heel, which will prolong the life of the internal foam and cushioning components.
