FAQs

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is made of a breathable textile (canvas).

Are these shoes suitable for heavy athletic activities?

These are lifestyle sneakers designed for comfort and casual wear. While they have a skate-inspired heritage, they are not intended for high-impact sports.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Refer to the size chart and ensure there is a comfortable fit without excessive tightness or looseness. The UK 6.5 size is specified for this particular product guide entry.

Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?

The textile upper is not waterproof and may absorb moisture. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.

What is the sole made of?

The sole is made of durable rubber, designed for grip.

How should I clean the floral pattern?

Gently clean the textile upper with a soft brush or cloth and mild soap and water. Avoid scrubbing aggressively to preserve the pattern's integrity.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Wear them for short periods initially to allow the textile upper to mold to your foot. Consider wearing with thinner socks.

Soles are slippery on wet surfaces

Exercise caution on wet surfaces. The grip may be reduced compared to dry conditions. Ensure soles are clean and free from debris.

Fabric appears dirty or stained

Gently clean the affected area with a damp cloth and mild soap. Test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first. For persistent stains, professional shoe cleaning might be necessary.

Laces are worn

Replace laces with standard shoelaces. Ensure they are the appropriate length for the shoe's eyelets.
