FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No. Due to the suede material, you should not submerge these shoes in water or place them in a washing machine.
Is the sizing true to fit?
The Shadow 5000 generally follows standard adult sizing. If you have a wider foot, you may find the snug nature of the multi-panel construction fits more securely.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While durable, these are retro lifestyle trainers. They are not recommended for high-intensity gym training or technical sports.
How do I protect the brown suede?
It is highly recommended to use a suede-specific water and stain repellent spray before your first wear to provide a protective barrier.
Are these unisex?
Yes, the Shadow 5000 is designed as a unisex trainer suitable for all adults, provided you select the appropriate UK size.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on the suede panels
Allow the dirt to dry completely and gently lift it away using a soft-bristled suede brush.
Shoes feel tight after long periods
Ensure you are using the correct lacing tension, as suede can naturally retain heat; loosen the laces slightly if needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers are designed for a standard fit consistent with adult sizing. To ensure longevity, avoid wearing these in heavy rain or mud, as water and dirt can permanently stain the suede exterior. If the shoes become damp, allow them to air-dry naturally at room temperature—never use a direct heat source like a radiator, as this can cause the suede to stiffen or shrink. For regular cleaning, use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove surface debris. You may also use specialized suede eraser tools for localized spots.
