FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?

These trainers are designed for casual everyday wear and light athletic activities. For marathon running, specialized running shoes with advanced cushioning and support are recommended.

How do I know if I have the right size?

The best way to ensure the right fit is to try them on. Your heel should feel secure without slipping, and there should be enough room in the toe box for comfort. Refer to the sizing chart if purchasing online.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the materials and construction. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method.

What is the main difference between the leather and mesh parts?

The leather sections provide durability and structure, particularly in high-wear areas like the heel and sides. The mesh sections offer breathability and flexibility, ensuring comfort and ventilation for the foot.

How long does the cushioning typically last?

The lifespan of the cushioning depends on usage frequency and intensity. For everyday casual wear, the cushioning should provide support for a significant period. Regular cleaning and proper care will help maintain its effectiveness.

Is this a men's or women's shoe?

These are unisex trainers, designed to be worn by anyone regardless of gender. The sizing is provided in UK adult foot sizes.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If the shoes are new, they may require a short break-in period. You can also try adjusting the lacing to provide more or less room in certain areas.

Slight odor after wear

Remove the insoles and allow both the shoes and insoles to air out completely. Using cedar shoe trees can help absorb moisture and odor. Regular cleaning also helps prevent odors.

Tread pattern losing grip

Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove any debris or buildup that might be hindering traction. For significant wear, consider replacement.
