FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for school?
Yes, the black colorway and low-profile design are generally suitable for most school uniform requirements.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can cause the suede to shrink, discolor, or damage the adhesive, which may void the product longevity.
Do these provide arch support?
They provide standard support through the internal construction, though they are not marketed as specialized orthopedic footwear.
Are the laces removable?
Yes, the laces can be removed and replaced with different colors or styles if desired.
What is the best way to remove a stain?
Use a specialized suede eraser for dry stains or dab (do not rub) with a very slightly damp cloth for light surface spots.
Is the sole non-marking?
The signature rubber waffle sole is designed for grip, but it is always best to check specific facility requirements if using them for indoor court sports.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure you are using a double knot or double-check that the lace material is not slippery from moisture.
Suede looks dull or flat
Use a specialized suede brush to lift the nap and restore the textured appearance of the material.
Dirt stuck in the waffle tread
Use a toothpick or a stiff-bristled brush to gently dislodge small stones or mud from the rubber outsole grooves.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers are ready to wear immediately out of the box. To achieve the best fit, ensure the laces are fully loosened before sliding the foot in, then tighten to a snug but comfortable tension that prevents the heel from slipping.
Care Instructions:
- Regularly brush the suede with a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt and dust.
- If the shoes get wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the suede from becoming stiff.
- Apply a suede-specific water repellent spray before initial wear to protect against moisture and spills.
- Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can degrade the rubber bonding and damage the suede material.
