FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, the Authentic 44 is designed for casual wear and does not provide the impact protection or arch support required for running.

How do I clean the rubber midsole?

A magic eraser or a damp cloth with mild soap is typically effective for removing scuffs and dirt from the rubber walls.

Do these shoes run true to size?

Yes, they generally fit true to standard UK sizing, though individual foot shape can influence fit.

Can I wear these in the rain?

They can be worn in light moisture, but the canvas material is not waterproof and may absorb water, so avoid deep puddles.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The silhouette is relatively slim, but the canvas upper does offer some natural stretch over time with regular wear.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt on canvas upper

Gently scrub with a soft brush and a mixture of mild soap and water, then let air dry.

Soles feeling too firm or lacking support

Consider adding an aftermarket orthotic insole for extra cushioning and arch support.

Laces loosening during use

Replace the standard cotton laces with waxed laces or use a double-knot method to ensure a secure fit.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile black colourway matches almost any outfit
  • Durable build quality suitable for everyday wear
  • Timeless design that never goes out of style
  • Lightweight and comfortable for casual use

Cons

  • Minimal arch support
  • Not intended for high-intensity athletic performance
  • Flat soles may require an insert for long-distance comfort

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your trainers in prime condition, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to prevent the rubber soles from degrading. For cleaning, use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt and a damp cloth for spot cleaning the canvas upper. Avoid machine washing, as this can weaken the adhesives. If you require additional support, the internal footbed is compatible with most aftermarket thin insoles, allowing you to customize the fit for your specific foot shape. Always check your size against the standard UK scale to ensure a proper fit.
