FAQs
Are these sneakers true to size?
Yes, they are designed to be true-to-size, though those with wider feet may prefer to try them on for personal preference.
How do I clean the platform sole?
The rubber sole can be cleaned using a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Avoid harsh chemicals that may discolor the material.
Can I replace the insoles?
The insoles are generally fixed to ensure the structure of the shoe remains intact, though thin orthotics may fit depending on your foot volume.
Are these suitable for running?
No, these are fashion trainers and do not contain the specialized cushioning or support systems required for running or intense sports.
Does the suede require special care?
Yes, suede is susceptible to moisture and dirt; a protective spray is highly recommended to extend the life of the material.
What is the primary difference between the leather and suede models?
The leather models offer a sleek, glossy finish and higher water resistance, while suede models offer a softer, matte texture suited for dry conditions.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather upper
Use shoe trees when not wearing the sneakers to help the material recover and maintain its shape.
Water spots on suede models
Use a specialized suede eraser or a soft cloth with a tiny amount of white vinegar, then brush the nap back into place once dry.
Sole appears scuffed
Use a gentle rubber eraser or a dedicated sneaker cleaning wipe to remove surface marks from the platform rubber.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers come ready to wear with a secure lace-up closure. To maintain their condition, use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust. For leather versions, apply a neutral leather conditioner periodically to prevent cracking and keep the sheen consistent. For suede models, a professional-grade suede protector spray is highly recommended before the first wear to prevent water staining. Store the sneakers in a cool, dry place using shoe trees to help retain their shape when not in use.
