FAQs
How do I determine my correct European size?
Refer to the product description for sole height (40mm) and general advice to order true to size in European sizing. It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with a sizing chart if unsure.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The trainers are not fully waterproof. While the leather and rubber offer some resistance, the textile and suede components may absorb water. Avoid wearing in heavy rain.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is made from a mix of materials, predominantly 88% Leather, with 12% Polyester.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather, suede, and sole construction. Hand clean according to the care instructions provided.
What is the purpose of the textured sole?
The tennis net-inspired textured rubber sole is designed to provide good grip and adds a unique visual detail to the trainer's aesthetic.
Do they come with extra laces?
Yes, a spare pair of flat laces is included with the trainers.
What is the sole height?
The sole height is 40 mm.
Troubleshooting
Laces fraying
Replace with the spare laces provided or source new flat laces of similar length and material.
Suede becoming dirty or stained
Use a specialized suede cleaner and a suede brush. For stubborn stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner.
Reduced grip on outsole
Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that may be affecting traction.
Discomfort during wear
Ensure the correct size has been selected. If the shoes are new, they may require a break-in period. Consider wearing with appropriate socks.
