FAQs
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the suede material is not naturally waterproof. We recommend applying a suede-safe protective spray to help repel moisture.
Can I wash these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can permanently damage the suede and the structural integrity of the shoe. Use only manual, surface-level cleaning methods.
Are these suitable for gym use?
These are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers. While comfortable, they do not provide the specialized support required for intense athletic training.
Do these come in other colours?
Yes, the 204L series is available in various colours including grey, silver, and brown, depending on current stock availability.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
The 204L follows standard adult sizing. It is best to try them on later in the day when your feet are slightly swollen to ensure the most comfortable fit.
What should I do if the suede gets muddy?
Let the mud dry completely first. Once dry, brush off the hardened mud with a suede brush, then treat any remaining stains with a dedicated suede cleaner.
Troubleshooting
Visible water or dirt spots on suede
Allow the shoes to dry completely, then gently use a suede brush or eraser to lift the debris.
Shoes feeling too tight after long wear
Loosen the lacing system to allow for natural foot swelling, or ensure you are wearing appropriate socks for the fit.
Loss of texture on the suede surface
Use a specialized suede brush to revitalize the nap by brushing in a consistent direction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Out of the box, the 204L series is designed for immediate use with a standard lacing system. To maintain the integrity of your trainers:
- Protect: Apply a water-repellent spray specifically designed for suede before the first wear.
- Clean: Use a soft-bristled suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust after use.
- Storage: Keep shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading.
- Handling Stains: Use a specialized suede eraser for minor marks and avoid submerging the shoes in water, as this can damage the suede texture.
