FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing, though some users prefer a half-size down if they enjoy a very snug fit.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the adhesive and cause the canvas to lose its shape.
Are these suitable for gym use?
While durable, these are lifestyle trainers and lack the motion control or impact protection required for intensive athletic training.
Do they provide arch support?
The 1970s series features upgraded cushioning, but they are relatively flat compared to dedicated performance shoes.
What is the best way to keep the yellow colour vibrant?
Store them out of direct sunlight when not in use to prevent UV-related colour fading.
Troubleshooting
Visible scuff marks on the rubber midsole
Use a standard white pencil eraser or a melamine cleaning sponge to gently buff away scuffs.
Laces becoming frayed
Replace with standard flat cotton laces of the same length to maintain the classic 70s look.
Minor dirt on canvas upper
Allow the dirt to dry completely before brushing it off with a soft-bristled brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers require no "setup" beyond the initial lacing to fit your foot securely. To maintain their appearance, wipe down the rubber toe cap and midsole with a damp cloth or a specialised sneaker cleaner. For the canvas upper, avoid machine washing; instead, spot clean with a soft brush and mild soap to prevent colour fading or material damage. Ensure the shoes are air-dried in a shaded area away from direct heat sources to maintain the integrity of the adhesive and fabric.
