FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While they are based on a 2000s running silhouette, they are currently designed primarily for lifestyle and casual use.

How should I clean the mesh material?

Spot clean with a soft brush and mild soapy water, then air dry away from direct heat.

Is the sizing true to size?

Yes, they feature a regular fit, though the strap closure provides a more snug feel than standard laces.

Can I remove the strap?

The strap is an integrated part of the shoe's design and should not be removed.

Does the metallic finish peel off?

With normal wear and proper care, the metallic finish is durable, but avoid scraping them against rough surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Strap feels too tight across the midfoot

Adjust the tension of the strap closure slightly; if it remains uncomfortable, try thinner socks to allow for more internal volume.

Metallic overlays appear dull or dirty

Use a microfiber cloth dampened with water to gently buff the overlays; avoid liquid polishes that might damage the synthetic material.

Pros and Cons

  • Strap system may feel tight for those with high arches

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your trainers last, treat them with care. Since the upper is constructed from mesh and features metallic elements, avoid using harsh industrial cleaners or abrasive brushes. Simply wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap to remove surface dirt. The trainers feature a regular fit, so they are generally true to size; however, those with wider feet may find the secure strap design requires a day or two to adapt to their foot shape. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the metallic overlays from fading or losing their luster.
