Refer to the brand's sizing chart. It is often recommended to try them on if possible, as fit can vary. This model is listed for adult men's UK sizing.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand wash using a damp cloth and mild soap for cleaning, and air dry.

What is the main material of the California 78 EX?

These trainers typically feature a combination of textile and synthetic materials for the upper, with a rubber sole for durability and traction.

What does 'EX' stand for in California 78 EX?

The 'EX' typically denotes an 'Explore' or 'Expedition' version, often implying updated materials or comfort features compared to the original model, while retaining the classic aesthetic.

How durable are these trainers?

The trainers are constructed with quality materials intended for regular wear. With proper care, they offer good durability for casual use.

What is the heel height?

Troubleshooting

Laces come undone frequently

Try a double knot or consider replacing the laces with ones that offer better grip.

Slight rubbing or discomfort

Ensure the laces are adjusted properly for a snug but not overly tight fit. Wear with appropriate socks. Break-in period may be needed.

Color transfer onto socks

This can occur with new darker colored footwear. Washing the inside of the shoe with a damp cloth may help. Allow shoes to air out before wearing.
