Full details

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, these trainers are designed for casual wear and everyday comfort. They do not offer the specific support or cushioning required for running.

How should I clean the floral pattern?

Gently wipe the area with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning tools that could damage the pattern.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

The textile upper is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. Avoid heavy rain.

What is the fit like?

These shoes have a regular fit, designed to be relaxed yet polished. They are available in standard UK adult sizes.

How do I adjust the fit?

The shoes feature a tie-up fastening. You can adjust the tightness by how you tie the laces.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is made of textile with a floral pattern.

What is the sole made of?

The sole is a durable gum rubber outsole.

Troubleshooting

Laces not staying tied

Try double-knotting the laces. Ensure the lace material is not excessively worn or slippery.

Uneven wear on the gum sole

Ensure you are walking with a natural gait. Check for any foreign objects lodged in the sole. For significant wear, consult a shoe repair specialist.

Discoloration of the floral pattern

Avoid excessive exposure to direct sunlight for prolonged periods. Clean gently with a damp cloth as per care instructions.

Slightly tight fit

Wear with thin socks or allow the shoes to break in naturally. Use the laces to adjust the fit. If discomfort persists after a break-in period, consider insoles.
