FAQs
What are the primary materials used in these trainers?
The trainers feature a combination of leather and synthetic materials for the upper, a textile sockliner, and a rubber outsole.
Are these trainers suitable for athletic performance?
These trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and everyday comfort. While they offer good support and traction for daily activities, they are not intended for high-impact sports or professional athletic performance.
How should I clean the CLOUDFOAM cushioning if it gets dirty?
The CLOUDFOAM cushioning is integrated within the shoe. Clean the exterior surfaces of the shoe, including any visible parts of the midsole, with a damp cloth. Avoid soaking the shoes.
What does 'Cold cement construction' mean?
Cold cement construction refers to a method of shoe manufacturing where the sole is attached to the upper using adhesives at lower temperatures. This typically results in a durable bond but means the shoes are not designed to be resoled.
Can I wear these trainers in wet conditions?
While the rubber outsole provides grip, the leather and synthetic upper is not waterproof. It is recommended to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage and discomfort.
What is the fit like for these trainers?
The trainers have a regular fit. They are available in specific UK sizing, with this particular model being a UK 8.5.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are not overtightened. The leather upper may also relax slightly with wear.
Slight discoloration on leather
Gently wipe the area with a clean, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a dedicated leather cleaner sparingly, following product instructions, and then buff with a clean cloth.
Outsole grip seems reduced
Clean the rubber outsole thoroughly with a damp cloth and a soft brush to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that might be affecting traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Suitable for adult males. The sizing is based on UK standards.
Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt from the leather and synthetic upper. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Clean the rubber outsole and any midsole components with a damp cloth or a soft brush.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
- Laces: Remove laces for cleaning separately. They can be hand-washed with mild detergent and air-dried.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
