FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the suede materials and the adhesives used in the sole; hand cleaning is recommended.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Old Skool V design is relatively adjustable due to the strap system, which can provide more flexibility than fixed laces, though fit varies by individual foot shape.
Do these have arch support?
These shoes offer standard support suited for casual daily wear, but they do not feature specialized orthopaedic arch support.
How do I ensure the right size?
Check the UK size indicator inside the shoe and ensure there is roughly a thumb's width of space at the toe for proper growth and comfort.
Can I replace the straps if they break?
The straps are stitched into the shoe construction and are generally not replaceable; ensure they are kept free of debris to maintain their longevity.
Troubleshooting
Straps are not sticking properly
Clean out any lint, hair, or debris that may have collected in the hook-and-loop teeth using a small brush or a pair of tweezers.
Visible surface stains on the grey upper
Use a specialized suede eraser or a damp cloth with mild soap to gently buff the affected area. Always test a small, inconspicuous spot first.
Pros and Cons

- Durable build quality suitable for active wear

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers require no specific setup; simply adjust the hook-and-loop straps to the desired tension for a secure fit. For care, keep the suede and canvas exterior clean by using a soft-bristled brush to remove dried dirt. Avoid machine washing, as it can damage the structural integrity of the adhesive and the suede texture. If the shoes become wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent the material from warping or stiffening.
