FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
These trainers are designed for casual wear and light activities. They are not intended for high-impact running or professional athletic training.
How do I ensure I get the right UK size?
Please refer to the UK size indicated in your order. Be mindful that the box or label might display US or European sizes, which can differ. Trying them on is the best way to confirm fit.
What materials are the trainers made of?
The upper is constructed from a combination of leather and synthetic materials. The lining is mesh, and the sole is made of rubber.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and structure of the trainers. Spot clean with a damp cloth instead.
How should I care for the leather upper?
Wipe the leather upper with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning or conditioning, use products specifically designed for leather care, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
What is the main style inspiration for the Rapid Court trainers?
The style is inspired by retro basketball sneakers, offering a blend of vintage athletic aesthetics with modern casual wearability.
Do these trainers offer good ankle support?
The low-cut design provides flexibility. While the lace-up closure offers a secure fit, they are primarily intended for casual use and do not offer the high level of ankle support found in specialized athletic footwear.
Troubleshooting
Incorrect Size Received
Check the size label against your order. If the UK size is incorrect, contact customer service. Remember to try them on before returning, as labels may show international conversions.
Discomfort After Extended Wear
Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly. If the issue persists, consider if the shoe's fit is suitable for your foot type. Break-in periods can vary.
Slight Scuff Marks on Leather
Use a damp cloth to gently wipe the affected area. For more stubborn marks, a dedicated leather cleaner may be used sparingly, following product instructions.
Slippery Sole on Wet Surfaces
The rubber sole provides traction, but performance on extremely wet or polished surfaces may be reduced. Exercise caution in such conditions.
