FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is recommended to clean these shoes by hand to preserve the specialized cushioning and structural integrity of the midsole.
Does this model provide enough support for wide feet?
The 2002 design features a standard fit, but the padding in the collar and tongue helps accommodate various foot shapes comfortably.
What is the primary material used?
The primary material is polyester, selected for its balance of durability and lightweight feel.
Can the insoles be removed?
Yes, the insoles in this model are generally removable if you need to insert custom orthotics.
Are these suitable for sports?
They are designed for active daily wear, including light running and play, though specialized sports might require specific athletic footwear.
How do I know if this is the right size?
There should be about a thumbnail's width of space between the longest toe and the front of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone during activity
Double-knot the laces or ensure they are pulled tight across all eyelets for a more secure fit.
Outer material showing signs of dirt
Gently spot clean with a mixture of mild soap and lukewarm water, then air dry thoroughly.
Foot feeling uncomfortable after long periods
Ensure the shoes are not tied too tightly around the bridge of the foot, which can impede circulation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your trainers, start by properly loosening the laces before sliding the foot in, which helps preserve the integrity of the heel counter. For cleaning, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt or mud from the polyester upper. If the shoes become wet, air dry them at room temperature away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to prevent material warping. Always check the outsole for debris lodged in the tread patterns to maintain optimal grip.
