FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The Hotter Gravity II Trainers are designed as sports-inspired footwear primarily for comfortable daily wear and light activities, such as walking. They are not intended for high-impact running or intensive athletic training.
How do I clean the Dark Rose Nubuck/Suede upper?
It's best to use a specialized suede brush for light cleaning and a dedicated nubuck and suede cleaner for stains. Always test any cleaning product on a small, hidden area first and avoid using water directly on the material.

Cushion+ technology is Hotter's advanced cushioning system designed to provide exceptional underfoot comfort, making you feel like you're walking on air by absorbing impact and supporting your feet.

Are these trainers waterproof?
The Nubuck/Suede upper is not inherently waterproof. We recommend applying a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for nubuck and suede to offer some protection against moisture.

Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight or uncomfortable
First, ensure the laces are not tied too tightly. Try re-lacing them for a looser fit. Check if your socks are too thick. If you are using custom insoles, ensure they are not causing the shoe to feel restricted. Allow a short break-in period for the materials to conform to your foot.
Stains or marks on the Nubuck/Suede upper
For light marks, use a specialized suede brush to gently buff the area. For more stubborn stains, apply a dedicated nubuck and suede cleaner following the product's instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous spot first and avoid using water directly.
Foot slipping inside the trainer
Ensure the laces are tied securely to provide adequate support. Check if the removable insoles are properly seated. If the issue persists, consider wearing thicker socks or exploring alternative insoles for a snugger fit.
Sole feels slippery or lacks grip
Regularly clean the PU sole to remove any accumulated dirt, mud, or debris that might reduce traction. Ensure the sole's tread is not excessively worn. If significant wear is present, the grip naturally diminishes over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care ### Initial Setup Upon receiving your Hotter Gravity II Trainers, unlace them fully before putting them on for the first time. Insert your foot and adjust the laces, starting from the toes upwards, to achieve a snug yet comfortable fit. Walk around briefly to ensure there are no pressure points and that your foot feels secure. ### Compatibility The trainers feature removable insoles, making them compatible with custom orthotics or specialized arch support inserts. Simply lift out the existing insole and replace it with your preferred insert. Ensure your custom orthotics fit properly within the shoe without causing discomfort or altering the shoe's structure. ### Care Instructions Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your Dark Rose Nubuck/Suede trainers. - Nubuck/Suede Upper: 1. Cleaning: Gently brush off any loose dirt or dust with a specialized suede brush. For tougher stains, use a dedicated nubuck and suede cleaner. Always test the cleaner on an inconspicuous area first. Do not use water or harsh chemicals, as this can damage the material. 2. Protection: Apply a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for nubuck and suede before first wear and periodically thereafter, especially in damp conditions. 3. Drying: If your trainers get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can cause the material to stiffen or crack. - Textile Lining: If the textile lining becomes soiled, gently wipe it with a damp cloth and mild soap, then allow it to air dry. - PU Sole: Wipe the sole clean with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. - General: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape when not in use.
