FAQs
How do I ensure I order the correct size?
Measure your foot length from heel to the longest toe. If your measurement falls between two standard sizes, it is recommended to choose the larger size for a more comfortable fit, considering individual foot shape variations.
What is the primary design inspiration for the 9060 series?
The 9060 series is inspired by the aesthetics of the late 1990s and early 2000s, often referred to as Y2K fashion, blending retro elements with modern design.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While the 9060 offers excellent cushioning for everyday comfort, they are primarily designed for casual wear and light activities, not for high-impact running or professional athletic training.
What materials are used in the construction of these trainers?
These trainers typically feature a combination of premium suede and breathable mesh for both durability and comfort.
How should I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
For suede, use a dry suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner or a slightly damp cloth with mild soap, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Always allow to air dry.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the trainers can handle light moisture, they are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain. Applying a suede protector spray can offer some resistance to water and stains.
What is the main benefit of the ABZORB and ENCAP technology?
ABZORB technology provides excellent shock absorption, while ENCAP midsole technology offers support and durability, contributing to overall comfort and stability for extended wear.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels incorrect
Refer to the 'How to choose the right size' instructions: measure foot length and choose the larger size if between sizes. Ensure you are trying them on indoors on a clean surface before wearing outside.
Uneven wear on outsole
This could indicate an incorrect gait or prolonged use on abrasive surfaces. Ensure proper fit and consider rotating footwear for daily use.
Suede material looks dull or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap. For tougher stains, use a suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Apply a suede protector spray for future prevention.
