FAQs

Are these shoes water-resistant?

While the materials are high-quality, they are not inherently waterproof. Using a suede-specific water repellent spray is advised.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the suede texture and the metallic finish. Clean by hand only.

How do I choose the right size?

These trainers are sized in standard UK sizing; choose the size you would typically wear in premium European footwear brands.

Are they suitable for orthotic insoles?

The ergonomic construction is designed for general support, but if you have custom orthotics, ensure they fit the shoe profile.

Can I wear these for long walks?

Yes, the ergonomic design is optimized for walking, making them suitable for long city walks or casual outings.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or matted

Use a specialized suede brush or a crepe brush to lift the fibers and restore the original texture.

Metallic finish appears smudged

Use a soft microfibre cloth dampened with a tiny amount of water to gently buff the surface.

Discomfort during initial wear

Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly to allow for natural foot expansion throughout the day.

Pros and Cons

  • Versatile aesthetic suitable for various outfits

Cons

  • Suede material is sensitive to moisture and dirt

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:

  • Suede Care: Use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt and maintain the nap of the material. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  • Patent Maintenance: Wipe metallic patent sections with a soft, slightly damp cloth to prevent scuffs and buildup.
  • Waterproofing: Applying a suede-safe protective spray before the first use is highly recommended to repel water and stains.
