FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The Fusion 2.0 generally follows standard sizing, though the layered construction provides a snug fit. If you prefer more room in the toe box, consider the typical sizing for your other athletic footwear.
Can I use these for running?
While the shoes feature performance-oriented fulcrum technology, they are primarily designed as lifestyle sneakers inspired by running heritage and are best suited for walking and daily wear.
How do I maintain the suede overlays?
Keep them dry, use a soft brush regularly to prevent dust buildup, and avoid harsh chemical cleaners.
What is the purpose of the rear pull tab?
The pull tab is designed to help you slide your foot into the shoe easily without crushing the heel counter.
Are the reflective details effective at night?
Yes, the reflective elements are integrated into the design to catch and bounce back light, increasing your visibility to others in low-light conditions.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted
Use a soft-bristled suede brush in a circular motion to lift the nap and restore the texture.
Laces coming undone frequently
The rope laces may be stiffer than standard laces; ensure you double-knot them until the material breaks in and becomes more pliable.
Outer material getting water-stained
Apply a water-repellent spray specifically formulated for suede and nylon to protect against future moisture exposure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the Fusion 2.0 uses premium suede, keep the shoes away from heavy mud or deep puddles to preserve the integrity of the material. If the shoes become damp, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the suede to stiffen or shrink. For cleaning, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and a dedicated suede eraser for minor stains. The rope laces are durable but can be replaced if they begin to fray over time. Ensure you check your sizing against standard UK measurements to maintain the intended fit of the original 1996-inspired silhouette.
