FAQs

How do I determine my size?

Refer to the size chart provided, and consider your foot measurements. You might also want to try on a pair if possible, as sizing can vary.

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While the LD-1000 was inspired by running shoes, they are best suited for casual, everyday wear. For serious running, you might want a shoe designed specifically for that purpose.

What materials are used?

The upper uses a breathable knit textile, with synthetic and real leather overlays, a foam midsole, and a rubber waffle outsole.

How should I clean the shoes?

Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the upper. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution. Avoid machine washing.

Are they waterproof?

No, they are not waterproof. They're designed for everyday wear and may not hold up well in wet conditions.

What is the lifespan of these shoes?

The lifespan depends on wear and tear. With proper care, they can last for a long time. Regular wear and tear will affect the shoes over time.

Where can I buy replacement laces?

You can find replacement laces at most shoe stores or online retailers. Choose laces that match the original color and length.
