FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

These trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and light activities. They offer comfort for walking but lack the specialized cushioning and support required for serious running.

How do I determine my correct UK size?

Refer to the size chart provided by K-SWISS or the retailer, typically based on foot length in centimeters or inches. This guide specifies UK 6.5 for this particular product.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather upper, the adhesives, and the structural integrity of the shoe.

What is the main difference between Court Tiebreak and Court Tiebreak II?

The Court Tiebreak II maintains the core aesthetic of its predecessor but receives subtle updates. This version features the distinctive 5 stripes and a refined construction for a recognizable yet updated look.

How should I store these trainers when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape. Avoid storing them in plastic bags, which can trap moisture.

Is the gold on the stripes prone to flaking?

The gold detailing is designed for durability. However, excessive abrasion or harsh cleaning methods could potentially affect its appearance over time. Standard care should preserve it well.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound during walking

This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the shoe base. Try removing the insole, ensuring it's dry, and reinserting it firmly. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole might also help.

Leather appears dry or stiff

Apply a small amount of leather conditioner to the upper. Gently rub it in with a soft cloth and allow it to absorb. This will help restore suppleness.

Laces becoming difficult to tighten

Check the eyelets for any debris. Ensure the laces themselves are not frayed or overly worn. Replace laces if necessary.

Slight discoloration on stripes

Gently clean the striped area with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid aggressive scrubbing. For persistent marks, consult a specialist shoe cleaner.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Ideal for casual wear with a wide range of outfits, including jeans, shorts, and casual trousers. They are designed for adult foot sizes.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a clean, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a mild leather cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  2. Drying: Air dry the trainers naturally. Do not place them near direct heat sources, as this can damage the leather.
  3. Protection: Consider using a leather protectant spray to help repel water and stains, especially for the white leather sections.
  4. Laces: Keep laces clean and replace them if they become worn.
