FAQs
What is Cordura fabric?
Cordura is a highly durable, resistant to abrasions, tears, and scuffs fabric often used in military equipment, workwear, and performance apparel and footwear for enhanced longevity.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While inspired by running shoe design, the Mizuno Contender Cordura is best suited for casual wear, walking, and light athletic activities. For serious or long-distance running, specialized running shoes are recommended.
How do I clean the suede parts?
Gently brush dry dirt with a suede brush. For stains, use a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry, then brush again. Avoid saturating the suede.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the materials, especially the suede and cushioning. Hand washing is the preferred method.
What is the main advantage of the Cordura reinforcement?
The Cordura reinforcement significantly increases the trainers' durability and resistance to wear and tear, making them ideal for daily use in various conditions.
What kind of cushioning do these trainers offer?
They feature molded EVA foam cushioning, which provides good shock absorption and a comfortable feel for everyday wear.
Is this a men's or women's shoe?

Troubleshooting
Sizing feels slightly off
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If the issue persists after a break-in period, consider trying a different size or consult the size chart for precise measurements.
Suede appears discolored or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to clean and restore the nap. For stubborn marks, use a suede cleaner or a lightly damp cloth, then allow to air dry completely and brush again.
Reduced cushioning after prolonged use
The EVA foam cushioning may naturally compress over time. While the core structure remains, the initial softness might decrease. Regular cleaning can help maintain the shoe's overall condition.
Laces are difficult to keep tied
Ensure laces are fully tightened. If they continue to come undone, consider double-knotting them or replacing them with laces that offer better grip.
