FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the Fario offers cushioning suitable for light activities and gym work, it is designed as an everyday trainer rather than a high-performance long-distance running shoe.
How do I determine my size?
The K-Swiss Fario uses standard UK sizing; we recommend selecting your usual size, keeping in mind that the leather may provide a slight break-in period for a custom fit.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather upper and compromise the structural integrity of the adhesive used in the sole; always clean by hand.
What is the primary material used for the upper?
The model features a high-quality leather upper, though some variations in the series may use faux leather; please check your specific product tag.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The leather offers some natural resistance to light splashes, but they are not waterproof and should not be submerged or worn in heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Laces constantly come undone
Ensure you are using a double knot if the laces are new and smooth, or consider replacing them with textured cotton laces for better friction.
Creasing appearing on the leather upper
Leather creasing is normal; use shoe trees when not in use to help the leather retain its shape and smooth out minor wrinkles.
Slippery outsoles
Check the treads for debris or mud; wipe the outsole with a damp cloth to restore grip on smooth floor surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your K-Swiss Fario trainers, start by properly adjusting the lace-up closure to achieve a snug but non-restrictive fit. Because the upper is crafted from leather, keep the shoes away from prolonged exposure to extreme moisture or direct heat sources, which can cause the material to crack. Clean the exterior by wiping with a slightly damp, soft cloth to remove dirt; for more stubborn marks, use a mild leather-safe cleaner. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature away from radiators or direct sunlight.
