FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?

While the Response CL draws from vintage running technology, it is primarily marketed as a lifestyle trainer. It is better suited for walking and everyday use than intensive athletic training.

Do the Response CL trainers run true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard adult sizing. If you prefer a looser fit or intend to wear thick athletic socks, some users recommend going up a half size.

How do I maintain the white colour?

Wipe them down after each use to prevent dirt from settling into the leather grain. Use a protective spray designed for white sneakers to help repel stains.

What is the purpose of the Torsion system?

The Torsion system is a bridge between the heel and forefoot that allows the front and back of the foot to move independently, providing improved stability and surface adaptation.

Can I replace the insoles?

The insoles are generally removable, allowing you to swap them out for custom orthotics if required for additional support.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt on the white upper

Use a specialized sneaker cleaner and a soft-bristled brush, avoiding excessive water saturation on the leather.

Feeling of stiffness during first wear

Wear the shoes for short intervals indoors to allow the leather upper and internal foam cushioning to soften and conform to your foot shape.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent arch support and overall stability
  • Durable outsole suitable for frequent walking
  • Distinctive, fashion-forward 2000s retro design
  • Plush cushioning ideal for long hours on your feet

Cons

  • Heavier feel compared to lightweight running shoes
  • Bulky silhouette may not suit all outfit styles
  • Limited ventilation compared to mesh-only alternatives

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Response CL trainers maintain their look and performance, begin by checking your fit; they generally run true to size, but the structured leather upper may require a short break-in period. For care, avoid machine washing to protect the structural integrity of the leather and internal support systems. Instead, wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth and use a gentle brush to remove dirt from the textured midsole and outsole. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the white material from yellowing.
