FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The Gator Run is inspired by 1980s athletic design but is primarily intended as a lifestyle trainer for casual, everyday use.

How do I determine if 10.5 UK is the right size?

If you typically wear a standard UK 10.5 in athletic footwear, the Gator Run should provide a consistent, true-to-size fit.

Can I use these in wet weather?

While the leather provides some protection, the shoe is not waterproof and should be dried naturally if exposed to excessive rain.

What is the primary material used?

This specific variant features a high-quality leather upper, though other versions in the series may feature suede.

How should I store them to avoid creasing?

Using a shoe tree when not wearing them will help maintain the shape and reduce unwanted creasing in the leather.

Troubleshooting

Stiff leather feel during initial wear

Wear the trainers for short periods around the house to help the leather gradually mold to your foot shape.

Accumulated dirt in the nubbed outsole

Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove debris from between the nubs to restore optimal traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Gator Run trainers stay in top condition, follow these simple care guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the leather surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water to protect the integrity of the material.
  2. Maintenance: Apply a leather-safe conditioner periodically to prevent cracking and maintain the vibrancy of the red finish.
  3. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prevent color fading.
  4. Fit: This model is designed for a standard adult male fit in size 10.5 UK; ensure you wear appropriate socks to gauge the fit accurately during the first few wears.
