FAQs
Are these shoes water-resistant?
No, the suede upper is not water-resistant. We recommend applying a suede-safe protective spray to help repel water.
Can I wash these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can permanently damage the suede and the gum rubber adhesive. Always clean them by hand.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed from high-quality suede, while the sole is made from durable gum rubber.
Do these provide enough arch support?
They offer standard support for everyday wear, but they do not have the high-density arch support found in specialized running shoes.
How do I ensure I have the right fit?
These follow standard UK sizing; choose the size you would typically wear in other casual lifestyle sneakers.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or flat
Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently lift the nap of the suede material.
Mud stains on the exterior
Allow the mud to dry completely, then gently brush it off before using a dedicated suede cleaning solution.
Laces constantly come untied
Ensure the laces are threaded through the eyelets properly; double knotting can provide extra security.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your sneakers, keep them away from harsh weather, as the suede upper is prone to water staining. Use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt or surface dust regularly. For deeper cleaning, apply a dedicated suede cleaner and allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the material to stiffen or shrink. Store them in a cool, dry place when not in use, and consider using a protective suede spray to repel moisture and dirt before your first wear. For sizing, the shoes are true to fit for an adult UK size 8, but we recommend wearing thin to medium-thickness cotton socks to maintain a comfortable fit.
