FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for everyday walking?

Yes, the cupsole and EVA cushioning provide enough comfort for daily walking and casual wear.

Do I need to spray these with a protector?

It is highly recommended to use a suede-safe water and stain repellent spray to extend the life of the upper.

Is the sizing true to size?

The Centennial 85 Low ADV typically fits true to standard UK sizing for adult males.

Can I replace the insoles?

The moulded EVA sockliner is designed for optimal performance, but it can be removed if you prefer to use custom orthotics.

What is the best way to store these long-term?

Store them in a breathable shoe box or bag with paper stuffing inside to help them retain their shape.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or flat

Use a suede brush in a circular motion to lift the nap and restore the texture.

Stiff fit out of the box

Wear the shoes for short periods around the house to allow the cupsole and materials to mold to your foot shape naturally.

Excessive dirt build-up on the outsole

Use a damp cloth and mild soap to wipe the rubber edges, avoiding the suede portions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Centennial 85 Low ADV trainers last as long as possible, proper care is essential. Since the upper is crafted from suede, avoid machine washing, which can damage the nap of the material. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dry dirt and debris after use. For tougher stains, utilize a dedicated suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaning solution. When storing, keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading. While the sizing is standard for adult male UK specifications, it is recommended to wear them with medium-thickness skate socks to achieve the most secure fit during the initial break-in period.
