FAQs

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper is constructed from a combination of durable Cordura mesh, premium suede, and textile materials.

Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?

These trainers are designed for general comfort and light athletic activities, not for high-performance or long-distance competitive running.

How should I clean the Cordura mesh part?

You can use a soft brush to gently remove any loose dirt or debris from the Cordura mesh. For tougher marks, a damp cloth can be used.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the Cordura mesh offers some durability, the suede components are not inherently waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions unless treated with a suitable water-repellent spray.

What makes the Cordura mesh construction beneficial?

Cordura mesh is known for its enhanced durability, abrasion resistance, and breathability, contributing to the longevity and comfort of the trainers.

What is the main benefit of the EVA foam midsole?

The molded EVA foam midsole provides responsive cushioning, helping to absorb shock and offer comfort during everyday wear and light activities.

Does this shoe come in other colors besides grey/black?

The Mizuno Contender series may offer other colorways. This specific guide focuses on the grey and black variant. Please check product listings for available options.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears discolored or stained.

Gently clean the affected area with a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth. For stubborn stains, consider a specialized suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully. Ensure shoes are fully dry before wearing.

Cushioning feels less responsive over time.

The EVA foam midsole may naturally compress with extensive use. While not replaceable, consider rotating footwear to prolong the lifespan of the cushioning and overall shoe integrity.

Laces are difficult to keep tied.

Ensure laces are tied securely with a double knot. If laces are worn or slippery, consider replacing them with a different material or texture that offers better grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no assembly. Simply remove them from the packaging and they are ready for use.

Compatibility: Designed for adult use, suitable for males. They are compatible with a wide range of casual and athletic attire. Available in UK adult sizes, with this guide focusing on Size 5.

Care: To maintain the condition of the suede and textile upper, spot clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid soaking the shoes. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat. For the Cordura mesh, a soft brush can be used to remove surface dirt. It is recommended to use a suede protector spray to help repel water and stains.
