FAQs
Are these trainers truly vegan?
Yes, the Blowfish Malibu Leo trainers are made with 100% vegan materials, meaning no animal products are used in their construction.
How do I determine my correct UK size?
Refer to standard UK sizing charts. The product information indicates this pair is a UK size 4.
Can I wear these for walking long distances?
These trainers feature a cushioned footbed for comfort, making them suitable for general daily wear and moderate walking. For very long-distance or strenuous walking, dedicated walking shoes might offer more specialized support.
How should I clean the platform sole?
The platform sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, a soft brush or a mild soap solution can be used carefully, followed by a wipe with a clean, damp cloth.
What is the heel height of the platform?
The product description specifies a 'platform wedge sneaker' and a 'platform lug trainer,' indicating a noticeable heel height provided by the platform. Specific measurements are not provided but it adds significant height.
Do these trainers come in other colors?
Yes, Blowfish Malibu offers the Leo style in various colors. This guide focuses on the Green, UK 4 variant.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The lace-up closure allows for some adjustability, but the fit is based on a standard width. Trying them on or checking customer reviews for fit feedback is recommended if you have wider feet.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel difficult to adjust
Ensure the laces are not excessively tightened. Gently pull the laces through the eyelets to loosen them before re-adjusting for a comfortable fit.
Slight discomfort on the first few wears
This is common with platform shoes. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase the duration as the shoes mold to your feet.
Surface marks on the vegan material
Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe away marks. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean damp cloth.
