FAQs

Are these shoes water-resistant?

No, the nylon and suede construction is not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain.

Can I use these for running?

While based on a 1972 running design, they are now marketed as lifestyle trainers and are not recommended for serious athletic running.

How do I clean the suede parts?

Use a dry suede brush to gently remove dirt. Avoid water on suede as it can leave stains or damage the material texture.

Do these run true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing, but the slim profile may feel slightly narrower than modern performance running shoes.

What is the primary material used?

The upper is primarily made from lightweight nylon, complemented by suede overlays and leather accents.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight across the midfoot

Loosen the lacing system significantly and consider wearing thinner socks to allow the nylon upper to flex more naturally.

Suede overlays look dull or dusty

Use a specialized suede brush or a clean, dry toothbrush to restore the nap of the suede material.

Soles becoming slippery

Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove any debris or oils that may have accumulated from walking on city streets.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely lightweight construction for all-day comfort
  • Stylish retro look that pairs well with casual outfits
  • Highly breathable nylon material
  • Excellent grip from the rubber outsole
  • Cushioned EVA midsole prevents fatigue

Cons

  • Low-profile design offers minimal arch support

  • Slim fit may feel narrow for wider feet
  • Not intended for high-impact sports

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers come ready to wear out of the box. To ensure the best fit, consider that these are sized for adults and follow standard UK sizing conventions. To maintain the quality of the nylon and suede materials:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dry dirt from the suede overlays.
  2. Spot Treatment: For the nylon upper, use a damp cloth with mild soap; avoid soaking the shoe.
  3. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading of the rich brown colours.
  4. Moisture: If the shoes get wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to protect the adhesive and leather accents.
