FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?

These trainers are designed for casual wear and light activities. They may not provide the specialized cushioning and support required for marathon running. For long-distance running, consider footwear specifically engineered for that purpose.

How do I clean the mesh upper?

You can clean the mesh upper gently with a soft brush or a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid vigorous scrubbing. Ensure they are air-dried completely afterward.

What is the best way to ensure a good fit?

It is recommended to try the shoes on, ideally later in the day when your feet are slightly swollen. Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe, and that the heel does not slip excessively.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and midsole structure. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth is the preferred method.

What is the primary material used?

The primary materials are nylon for the upper and a dual-density PU (polyurethane) for the midsole.

Are these trainers waterproof?

The nylon and mesh construction means these trainers are not waterproof. They offer some resistance to light moisture but are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions.

What kind of socks are best to wear with these?

For everyday comfort, standard athletic socks or cotton-blend socks are suitable. If you prefer a snugger fit or are experiencing slight looseness, consider thinner performance socks.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and adjust them to provide more room, especially around the forefoot. Ensure you have the correct size. Consider wearing thinner socks if necessary.

Discomfort during prolonged wear

Ensure the lacing is not too tight. Check for any internal seams or objects that might be causing irritation. The midsole may require a break-in period.

Material appears discoloured

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean gently with a damp cloth as per care instructions. For specific stains, consult a shoe care guide for nylon and mesh.

Slight odour developing

Ensure shoes are completely dry after wear. Use a shoe deodorizer or insert baking soda overnight to absorb odours. Air them out regularly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

Designed for adult female wear. They are suitable for casual wear and light athletic activities. Compatibility with specific sports or activities requiring advanced support is limited.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, use a damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  • Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to maintain their shape and colour.
