FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for professional basketball?
No, these are lifestyle trainers inspired by basketball court designs and are intended for everyday fashion use.
Are these sneakers unisex?
Yes, the Hoops MID series is designed to be worn by anyone, provided the correct sizing is selected.
Can I remove the insoles?
Most models feature standard insoles; however, they are generally meant to stay in place. If you need orthotics, check if the existing insole can be lifted without damaging the shoe.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Yes, these generally follow standard sizing conventions, but it is always recommended to check your measurement against the provided UK sizing chart.
How do I keep the white parts clean?
Using a dedicated sneaker cleaner or a soft brush with mild soap is recommended for white synthetic or rubber sections.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming untied frequently
Use a double knot or ensure the laces are threaded tightly through the top eyelets for better lockdown.
Creasing on the upper material
Use shoe trees when not in use to help the shoe maintain its shape and minimize deep-set creases.
Sole losing traction on smooth surfaces
Clean the rubber outsole with a mild soapy solution and a brush to remove trapped debris or dust that builds up over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers last, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: Adjust the laces from the bottom up to ensure the tongue is centered and the midfoot is snug but not constricting.
- Cleaning: Wipe the synthetic upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemical cleaners that may damage the finish.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the materials from fading or becoming brittle.
- Drying: If the interior becomes damp, air dry at room temperature. Never place near radiators or high-heat sources, as this can warp the rubber sole.
