FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?

No, the KAPTIR Base Shoes are designed for everyday wear and light training, not for specialized high-impact activities like marathon running. For such events, specialized running shoes are recommended.

How do I determine the correct size if I'm between sizes?

It's generally recommended to try them on if possible. If ordering online, check the product's size chart or consider ordering the larger size if you prefer more room, especially if you plan to wear thicker socks.

Can these shoes be worn in wet conditions?

While the materials offer some protection, they are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper is a combination of textile and leather materials, providing a balance of flexibility, breathability, and durability.

How should I clean the white accents on the shoe?

Use a damp cloth with mild soap and gently wipe the white areas. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could damage the material.

What is the main advantage of the synthetic outsole?

The synthetic outsole is designed for good durability and reliable traction on various common surfaces, contributing to the shoe's versatility.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and ensure they are not tied too tightly. If the tightness persists, consider if the size is appropriate or if a break-in period is needed.

Soles feel slippery

Ensure the synthetic outsole is clean and free from excessive dirt or debris. The grip may also vary depending on the surface. These are designed for general traction, not extreme conditions.

Upper material showing signs of wear

Clean the shoes regularly following care instructions. For minor scuffs on leather, a leather conditioner might help. For textile areas, gentle brushing is recommended.
