Full details

FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
These trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and everyday comfort. While they offer good support and grip, they are not specialized athletic shoes for high-impact sports.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Refer to the sizing guide for UK 9. Lace the shoes to your comfort, ensuring there is enough room to wiggle your toes without excessive looseness. The heel should feel secure without rubbing.
Can I wash these trainers in a machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather and midsole construction. Hand clean according to the care instructions provided.
What is the Anatomiflex technology?
Anatomiflex is a biomechanically engineered midsole developed by Fitflop. It is designed to be ultra-flexible and provide exceptional cushioning, promoting a natural and comfortable walking experience.
How durable are the rubber pods?
The rubber pods are designed for durability under normal wear conditions, particularly in high-wear areas like the toe and heel. Excessive or abrasive use may affect their longevity.
What type of socks should I wear with these?
You can wear these trainers with various types of socks, from thin liner socks to standard athletic socks, depending on your preference and the weather. Moisture-wicking socks are recommended for maximum comfort during extended wear.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur with new leather shoes. Try inserting a powder or a dryer sheet under the insole, or ensure laces are not too tight.
Discomfort after initial wear
Allow a short break-in period. Wear the shoes for a few hours at a time initially to let them mold to your feet.
Leather appears dry or dull
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner or polish specifically designed for your type of leather. Buff gently.
Slipping, despite advertised slip-resistance
Ensure the outsole is clean and free from mud or debris. Very smooth or wet surfaces can still pose a slipping hazard.
