FAQs

What makes the Campus 00s different from other Campus models?

The Campus 00s silhouette is inspired by the early 2000s skate shoe era, featuring a chunkier profile, a more padded tongue and collar, and often a slightly modified sole compared to classic Campus models.

Are these trainers suitable for sports?

These trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle. While they offer comfort and basic traction, they are not intended for high-impact athletic activities.

How do I clean the suede material?

Use a suede brush for regular cleaning. For stains, a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Avoid using water excessively, as it can damage the suede.

What is the fit like?

The fit is generally true to size. The padded tongue and collar offer a comfortable and secure feel. It's recommended to consult size charts or try them on if possible.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet weather. Suede can be easily damaged by water, leading to stains and a change in texture. A suede protector spray can offer some water resistance.

What does the "00s" in the name refer to?

The "00s" refers to the early 2000s, indicating that the design of this particular model is inspired by the style and trends of that decade, particularly in skate footwear.

What are the primary materials used?

The upper is primarily constructed from premium suede, with textile and synthetic materials used for the lining and details. The sole is made of rubber.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears faded or dirty

Use a suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, try a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully.

Tongue or collar feels stiff

Wear the shoes for short periods to naturally break them in. Avoid excessive force or bending, as the padding will gradually conform to your foot.

Soles have lost grip

Ensure the soles are clean from mud or debris. Minor wear on the sole pattern may reduce grip; for significant wear, professional inspection might be needed.

Color transfer from black details

This is rare but can occur if the black dye is exposed to excessive moisture or friction. Allow the shoe to dry thoroughly and avoid prolonged contact with light-colored materials when wet.
