FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, it is not recommended to wash them in a machine. Hand-cleaning with a damp cloth is the best way to maintain the structural integrity and finish of the synthetic leather.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The VL Court Base has a standard fit. If you have particularly wide feet, you may find them slightly snug in the toe box and might want to consider sizing up or trying them on to ensure a comfortable fit.
Can I use these for tennis?
No, these are fashion trainers. They do not offer the specialized lateral support, cushioning, or outsole traction required for tennis or other competitive court sports.
Do these contain real leather?
The product description specifies a synthetic leather upper, making these a vegan-friendly option compared to traditional leather shoes.
How do I know my size?
These shoes follow standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to choose the size you typically wear in other casual athletic footwear.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure you are using a double knot if the laces feel slippery, or replace them with cotton-based flat laces for better friction.
Creasing on the toe box
Creasing is natural for synthetic leather uppers. Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the original shape.
Squeaking sound while walking
This is often caused by moisture trapped between the insole and the shoe. Remove the insole, let both parts air dry completely, and sprinkle a little talcum powder inside if necessary.
