FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is generally not recommended to machine wash these trainers as the agitation and heat can damage the ABZORB cushioning. Spot cleaning is the safest method.
What does the ABZORB technology do?
ABZORB is a superior blend of foam cushioning and compression set features that absorbs impact forces to protect your joints during walking.
Are these suitable for running?
While comfortable for walking and light activities, they are classified as lifestyle trainers and are not optimized for long-distance running or competitive athletic performance.
How do I ensure the right fit?
The UK size 5.5 is designed to fit a standard adult foot. We recommend wearing the same type of socks you intend to use daily when trying them on for the first time.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, you can remove the existing insoles to replace them with custom orthotics if you require specific arch support adjustments.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt accumulation on the upper material
Use a soft-bristled brush or a dry cloth to gently remove loose dust and dirt after every wear.
Midsole feeling less responsive over time
Ensure the shoes are given at least 24 hours of rest between extended periods of use to allow the cushioning foam to recover its shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers last, avoid submerging them in water or using harsh detergents. For regular care, wipe down the exterior with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. If the shoes become damp, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the midsole materials. Check that you have selected the correct UK size 5.5 to ensure the arch support aligns properly with your foot anatomy.
