FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
The RC56 is designed as a lifestyle trainer based on archival racing aesthetics; while comfortable, it is optimized for daily wear rather than intensive long-distance athletics.
How do I ensure the right fit?
The RC56 fits true to size for standard adult feet. Refer to the available UK sizing options to match your usual athletic shoe size.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can cause the leather to dry out or crack and may damage the foam components. Manual cleaning is recommended.
What is the primary material used in the construction?
The exterior of the standard RC56 model is crafted from high-quality leather, ensuring durability and a polished look.
What makes the RC56 different from other lifestyle shoes?
The main differentiator is the combination of an authentic early-2000s archival racing silhouette with modern FuelCell cushioning technology.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the leather upper
Use a shoe tree when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the shape of the toe box and reduce deep creases.
Difficulty cleaning white surface
Use a specialized leather-safe cleaning foam and a soft-bristled brush to gently lift dirt from the grain of the leather.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the RC56 features a leather upper, it is important to avoid machine washing, which can damage the material and structure of the shoe. To keep the white leather looking its best, wipe down the exterior with a soft, damp cloth after use to remove surface dust. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner suitable for athletic footwear. Ensure you select the correct UK sizing from the available range to ensure the proper fit of the interior PU foam footbed.
