FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
These trainers are designed for casual wear and comfort. While they can be worn for light walking, they are not recommended for high-impact activities like running due to their construction and cushioning focus.

The insole can typically be removed and gently hand-washed with mild soap and water. Allow it to air dry completely before placing it back into the shoe.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear suede trainers in wet conditions as it can damage the material. The rubber sole offers some protection, but the suede upper is sensitive to moisture.

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are not overtightened. Wear the shoes around the house for a short period to allow them to break in.
Suede material getting dirty
Use a suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow the instructions carefully. Protectants can be applied to help prevent future stains.
Cushioning feels less effective over time
The Air-Cooled Memory Foam insole may require cleaning or replacement. Try removing and cleaning the insole as per care instructions. If performance does not improve, consider replacing the insoles.
Outsole losing grip
Ensure the outsole is clean and free of debris. If the rubber appears worn, the shoes may be nearing the end of their lifespan for optimal traction.
