FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?
The FitFlop Retro-Q trainers are designed for casual wear and everyday activities. Their grip is suited for daily use, but they are not specifically engineered for high-impact sports like running, which may require specialized footwear.
How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
For suede, use a dry suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a dedicated suede cleaner is recommended, following the product's instructions. Avoid soaking the suede material.
What does iQushion™ technology offer?
iQushion™ technology in the midsoles provides responsive cushioning and support. It helps to absorb shock, improve alignment, and promote natural movement, contributing to all-day comfort.
How is the arch support in these trainers?
The trainers feature natural arch support, designed to conform to the natural contours of your foot, offering stability and comfort during prolonged wear.
Are the trainers waterproof?
The trainers have Scotchgard™ protection, which helps repel water and stains to a degree. However, they are not fully waterproof and should be protected from excessive moisture.
What is the heel height of these trainers?
The FitFlop Retro-Q trainers have a flat heel height.
How should I adjust the laces for the best fit?
Loosen the laces significantly before putting on the shoe. Once on, gradually tighten the laces from the bottom eyelets upwards, ensuring a snug but comfortable fit that does not restrict circulation.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring even pressure. If still uncomfortable, consider if the size is appropriate or if the laces need further adjustment for your foot shape.
Suede material looks dull or dirty
Use a dry suede brush to gently remove surface dirt and revive the nap. For deeper stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow its instructions carefully.
Lack of grip on slippery surfaces
The grip is designed for everyday use. For very slippery conditions, exercise caution. Ensure the outsole is clean, as debris can affect traction.
Water absorption or staining
While treated with Scotchgard™, excessive moisture can still be an issue. For immediate spills, blot with a clean cloth. Ensure reapplication of Scotchgard™ protection periodically for optimal results.
