FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they utilize GEL technology and FLUIDRIDE cushioning, the 12.1 series is primarily designed as a lifestyle/trainer shoe rather than a specialized performance running shoe.
How do I clean the synthetic overlays?
Use a damp cloth and mild detergent to wipe down the synthetic parts. Do not soak the shoes in water.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard adult sizing. It is recommended to check your measurement against the UK sizing guide provided.
Can I replace the insoles?
The insoles are generally removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required for your foot health.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is constructed from a breathable mesh base with synthetic overlays for added structure and style.
Are they waterproof?
No, they are not waterproof. The mesh construction is designed for breathability rather than water resistance.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone during activity
Use a double knot or ensure the rope laces are pulled tight through every eyelet to prevent slippage.
Visible dirt on grey mesh material
Use a soft-bristled brush or a dedicated sneaker cleaning solution to gently remove debris from the fabric weave.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure your rope laces are tightened comfortably to match your midfoot volume. The trainers are designed for standard adult foot sizing. To keep your pair in optimal condition, avoid washing them in a machine, which can damage the synthetic overlays and foam integrity. Instead, spot clean the mesh and synthetic areas with a soft cloth, mild soap, and cold water. Let them air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to prevent the midsole foam from warping or hardening.
