Product Information
Full details
These FitFlop Retro-Q trainers are designed for adult women seeking a blend of retro aesthetics and modern comfort. The key benefit is the iQushion™ technology, offering responsive, ergonomic support for all-day wear. A potential consideration is that while Scotchgard™ protected, they may require specific care due to their mixed fabric and suede construction. Key features include a lightweight nylon and suede upper, iQushion™ midsoles for advanced cushioning and natural arch support, and a design inspired by 80s sneakers.

FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
These trainers are designed for everyday comfort and casual wear, not for high-impact or specialized athletic activities like running. They offer cushioning and support for walking and standing.
How do I clean the suede parts?
Use a suede brush to clean the suede. For stubborn stains, a specialized suede cleaner can be used, but always test on a small, inconspicuous area first.
What is Scotchgard™ protection?
Scotchgard™ protection is a treatment applied to the materials to help repel water and stains, making the trainers more resistant to everyday spills and dirt.
Do the iQushion™ midsoles offer arch support?
Yes, the iQushion™ technology is ergonomically engineered to provide responsive support and includes natural arch support to help optimize your body's alignment and natural movement.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, construction, and the iQushion™ technology within the midsoles. Spot clean with a damp cloth and appropriate cleaners.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is a comfortable fit around the width and length of your foot. Your heel should not slip excessively, and there should be enough room in the toe box. Refer to FitFlop's sizing guide if unsure.
What is the main benefit of the Retro-Q design?
The Retro-Q design merges 80s-inspired aesthetics with advanced comfort technology, providing both style and ergonomic support for daily wear.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort or pressure points
Ensure you have the correct size. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods. Check for any internal seams or debris causing irritation.
Suede appears matted or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
The iQushion™ technology is designed for durability, but performance may gradually decrease with extensive use. Ensure the shoes are not being used for activities beyond their intended scope.
Water marks or stains on fabric/suede
For minor marks, try wiping gently with a damp cloth. For more significant stains, refer to the specific care instructions for suede and nylon materials. The Scotchgard™ protection helps minimize this, but is not foolproof.
