FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for athletic performance?
These trainers are designed with performance construction and cushioning for comfortable daily wear and light activities. They are not intended for high-intensity athletic training or sports.
How do I determine my UK size?
Refer to standard UK sizing charts for footwear. The provided size (UK 8) is a specific measurement; compare it with your usual shoe size for a comfortable fit.
Can the insoles be replaced?
Yes, the trainers feature a removable insole, allowing you to replace it with your own custom orthotics or a new comfort insole if desired.
What is the primary material of the trainers?
The outer material is primarily 100% cowhide split leather with a polyurethane coating. The lining and insole are made of 100% goatskin.
How should I store these trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Using a shoe tree or placing them in a dust bag can help maintain their shape and protect the materials.
Are there other color options available?
This guide focuses on the black variant. Please check the product listing for availability of other colors or styles within the Godzilla Runner Hexagon series.
What does the 'Hexagon' in the name refer to?
The 'Hexagon' typically refers to the design elements or branding incorporated into the shoe, such as the PP Hexagon logo plaque found on the outer quarter.
Troubleshooting
Reduced cushioning over time
While designed for durability, cushioning can naturally decrease with extensive use. Consider replacing the removable insole if significant comfort loss occurs.
Scuff marks on leather
For minor scuffs, try using a specialized leather cleaner or a mild leather conditioner. For deeper marks, professional leather repair might be necessary.
Slipping on smooth surfaces
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. If the issue persists, the outsole may be worn down and require replacement by a cobbler.
Odors developing
Remove the insole and air it out regularly. Use a shoe deodorizer spray or place baking soda inside the shoes overnight. Ensure shoes are dried properly if they become wet.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: These trainers come ready to wear. Ensure they fit comfortably before your first use. If a custom insole is to be used, remove the existing goatskin insole first.
Compatibility: Designed as unisex adult trainers, they are suitable for individuals seeking a blend of style and comfort. They pair well with a wide range of casual and smart-casual attire.
Care:
- Outer Material: The 100% cowhide split leather (polyurethane coated) requires careful cleaning. Use a dry cloth to remove surface dust. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth may be used, but avoid saturation. Specialized leather cleaners designed for coated leather can be used sparingly.
- Lining and Insole: The 100% goatskin lining and insole should be kept dry. If they become damp, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat. The removable insole can be wiped clean with a slightly damp cloth.
- Outsole: The 100% ethylene-vinyl acetate outsole can be cleaned with a brush and mild soap to remove dirt and restore its appearance.
- General: Avoid exposing the trainers to excessive moisture or extreme temperatures. Store them in a cool, dry place when not in use, preferably in a shoe bag to protect the materials.
