FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for playing basketball?

These are lifestyle shoes inspired by basketball designs. While they offer good comfort and traction for casual wear, they are not designed for professional or intensive basketball play and may lack the specific support and cushioning required.

What is the material of the lining?

The lining is made of textile fur, designed to provide comfort and a soft feel.

How do I determine my correct UK size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart or measure your foot from heel to toe and compare it with the provided size guide. It's recommended to try them on if possible.

Can I machine wash these shoes?

It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as it can damage the materials and construction. Hand washing or spot cleaning is the preferred method for care.

What kind of socks are best with these shoes?

Regular athletic socks or casual socks work well. For a snugger fit or during the break-in period, slightly thicker socks might enhance comfort.

How durable is the synthetic leather upper?

The synthetic leather is designed for everyday wear and offers good resistance to scuffs and general wear and tear, maintaining its appearance over time with proper care.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring not to overtighten. Wear them indoors for a short period to allow the material to adapt to your foot shape. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in period if they feel a bit loose.

Laces fraying or breaking

Replace the laces with a new pair of similar length and material. Ensure they are tied securely but not excessively tight to prevent undue stress.

Slight odor developing

Remove the insoles and allow both the shoes and insoles to air out completely. Sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors, then shake out before wearing.
