FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they generally fit true to standard adult sizing, though the slip-on design may feel more snug than laced alternatives.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

It is not recommended, as heat and agitation can damage the rubber bonding; hand washing or spot cleaning is preferred.

Is this model suitable for wide feet?

The Classic Slip-on 98 has a standard fit; those with wider feet may need to break them in thoroughly or consider a half-size up if available.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is constructed from durable, high-quality textile suited for daily casual wear.

Are these suitable for long-distance walking?

While comfortable for everyday errands, they lack the advanced arch support and cushioning found in dedicated athletic running shoes.

Troubleshooting

The shoe feels tight at first.

Canvas materials typically stretch slightly after a few wears. Wear them for short periods around the house to facilitate the break-in process.

The heel is slipping while walking.

Ensure you are wearing the correct size. If slipping persists, consider adding a thin adhesive heel grip or wearing slightly thicker socks.

Sole is picking up debris.

The deep grooves in the vulcanized rubber can collect dirt; use a dry stiff brush to occasionally clear the tread for better grip.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely convenient slip-on design
  • Versatile black colorway fits any outfit
  • Durable vulcanized rubber sole offers great traction
  • Timeless, iconic aesthetic that never goes out of style

Cons

  • Lack of adjustable lacing system limits fit customization
  • Not intended for high-intensity athletic activities
  • Requires a break-in period for optimal comfort

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because this is a slip-on model, no setup is required beyond ensuring you have the correct size—this specific unit is a UK size 5. To keep your sneakers looking their best, avoid machine washing; instead, spot clean with a soft brush and mild soap. For persistent odors, use a standard fabric-safe shoe deodorizer. Since the upper is made of textile, it is recommended to apply a water-repellent spray if you live in a damp climate to protect the material from staining.
