FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, these are lifestyle trainers designed for casual wear and walking, not for running or high-impact athletic activities.

How should I clean the synthetic upper?

Gently wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid machine washing, as this can damage the materials and the structure of the shoe.

Do these shoes fit true to size?

The VL Court Base features a regular fit, which generally aligns with standard adult shoe sizing.

Are the materials sustainable?

Yes, a significant portion of the upper is made from recycled materials, with a minimum of 50% recycled content.

Can I remove the insole?

The insole is designed to be part of the shoe construction; removing it is not recommended as it may affect the fit and comfort.

Troubleshooting

Laces coming untied frequently

Double-knot the laces or ensure they are pulled evenly to maintain consistent tension.

Accumulation of dirt on the white outsole

Use a soft-bristled brush with a mix of water and mild detergent to scrub the rubber cupsole, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.

Tightness across the midfoot

Adjust the lacing pattern to a 'parallel' or 'loose' style to reduce pressure across the top of the foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers follow a standard lace-up setup; ensure the laces are adjusted to your preferred tension upon first wear to avoid pressure points. Regarding care, the synthetic upper can be wiped clean with a damp cloth and mild soap to maintain the black and white finish. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemicals that could degrade the synthetic surface. To maintain shape and hygiene, store the trainers in a cool, dry place and allow them to air out after long periods of wear.
