Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While based on a 70s running design, they lack the advanced cushioning and support of modern running shoes and are recommended for casual, daily wear.

How do I determine the right size?

The product is listed in UK adult sizes. Check your existing footwear or use a standard measurement chart to ensure the correct fit.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

No. Machine washing can damage the leather overlays and weaken the adhesives used to attach the waffle sole.

What materials are used in the upper?

The upper is constructed from lightweight nylon with integrated leather overlays for support and branding.

Do these shoes come in different colors?

The Moon Shoe series is available in various colorways, including combinations of Blue, White, and Grey.

Is the sole really made using a waffle iron?

The original concept was inspired by Bill Bowerman using a waffle iron, and this modern recreation maintains that authentic design language.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt on the nylon upper

Gently dab the area with a soft cloth and a mixture of water and mild soap, then allow to air dry away from heat sources.

Creasing on the leather overlays

Use a shoe tree when not in use to help maintain the structure of the toe box and reduce fabric tension.

Sole grip appears worn after light use

The Waffle sole design is soft by nature; avoid walking on extremely abrasive surfaces like loose gravel or rocky terrain to prolong tread life.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your trainers last, proper care is essential. As these shoes feature nylon and leather components, avoid submerging them in water or using harsh industrial detergents. If they become dirty, spot-clean the nylon with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Protect the leather accents using a leather-safe conditioner to prevent cracking over time. For storage, keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the blue and white coloring. Always ensure you are checking the specific UK size conversion before purchase, as fit can vary slightly across different series within the Moon Shoe line.
