FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running or gym workouts?
No, these are 'Lifestyle Court Casual Shoes' and are designed for casual, everyday wear and light walking, not for high-impact activities like running, intense gym workouts, or other performance sports. For those activities, we recommend footwear specifically engineered for athletic performance.
How do I know what size to order?
The shoes are described as 'True to Size', so you should order your standard UK shoe size. If you are typically between sizes, consider ordering the larger size for comfort, especially if you plan to wear socks.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
These shoes are not explicitly waterproof. While light rain might not cause immediate damage, prolonged exposure to wet conditions is not recommended. For rainy weather, we suggest wearing footwear designed with water-resistant or waterproof features to protect your feet and the shoes.
What kind of socks should I wear with these shoes?
These shoes are versatile and can be worn with a variety of socks, including no-show socks for a cleaner look, ankle socks for casual comfort, or even crew socks to complement a specific style. Choose socks based on your personal preference and the weather.
Is the recycled content noticeable or does it affect durability?
The recycled content is primarily in the synthetic upper material and is not visibly noticeable in terms of texture or appearance. It does not compromise the shoe's durability or quality; it simply represents a more sustainable manufacturing approach.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the standard insoles can typically be removed and replaced with custom orthotics or aftermarket insoles if you require additional arch support or cushioning. Ensure any replacement insoles fit properly without making the shoe too tight.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially
Synthetic leather can sometimes require a brief break-in period. Wear them for short durations around the house for the first few days to allow the material to soften and conform to your foot.
Laces come undone frequently
Ensure you are tying a double knot (surgeon's knot) for extra security. Check that the laces are not worn or stretched, which can make them harder to keep tied.
Shoes are squeaking when I walk
This can sometimes be caused by moisture trapped between the insole and the sole. Try removing the insoles and sprinkling a small amount of baby powder underneath them, then reinsert. If the squeak persists, it might be a manufacturing issue.
Persistent odor inside the shoes
Ensure shoes are fully aired out after each wear. Consider using shoe deodorizers, cedar shoe trees, or sprinkling baking soda inside overnight to absorb moisture and odor. Regularly clean the inside lining with a damp cloth and mild soap.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
These shoes require minimal 'setup'. Simply unbox them, lace them up to your desired tightness, and you're ready to go. The 'true to size' fit means you can generally select your usual UK shoe size with confidence.
Compatibility
- Wardrobe: Highly compatible with casual and athleisure wear. Pair them with denim, shorts, leggings, casual dresses, or skirts for a laid-back, stylish look.
- Activity: Best suited for daily casual wear, light walking, and social activities. Not recommended for strenuous sports or professional athletic training.
- Inserts: Compatible with most standard, thin orthotic inserts if additional arch support is desired. Ensure inserts do not cause the shoe to feel too tight.
Care
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your shoes:
- Cleaning the Upper: For synthetic leather, use a soft, damp cloth with a mild soap solution to gently wipe away dirt and stains. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes which can damage the material.
- Cleaning the Sole: A soft brush or old toothbrush can be used with soap and water to clean the rubber cupsole.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can cause materials to warp or crack.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. If storing for extended periods, consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Do not wash these shoes in a washing machine, as it can damage the structure and materials.
- Spot Treatment: For tough stains, consider a cleaner specifically designed for synthetic leather, testing first on an inconspicuous area.
