Is this shoe suitable for running or athletic training?

The 2002R series is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual wear sneaker, offering comfort for everyday activities rather than high-performance athletic training.

Troubleshooting

Uneven fit or discomfort

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Try wearing them with different types of socks. If discomfort persists, check if the shoe is broken in sufficiently.

Scuffs or marks on leather

Use a leather cleaner specifically designed for the type of leather. For minor scuffs, a leather conditioner may help restore the finish.

Slippery outsole on wet surfaces

The rubber outsole provides good grip, but caution is always advised on very wet or slick surfaces. Ensure the outsole is free from mud or debris.
