FAQs

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is made of a combination of synthetic materials and open-knit mesh, with suede overlays for added structure and style.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

These trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and light training. While they offer good cushioning, they may not provide the specialized support or features required for intense running activities.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the size guide provided by the retailer. These trainers are available in UK adult sizes. It is recommended to measure your foot and compare it to the size chart.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

No, it is not recommended to machine wash or tumble dry these trainers. Cleaning should be done by hand using a damp cloth and mild soap.

What is the main benefit of the ABZORB cushioning?

ABZORB cushioning is designed to absorb shock, providing a comfortable and responsive feel with every step, helping to reduce impact on your feet.

What kind of surfaces does the rubber outsole provide grip on?

The rubber outsole is designed to provide reliable traction on a variety of surfaces, including city pavements, park paths, and indoor flooring.

Troubleshooting

Reduced cushioning feel

The ABZORB cushioning may take a short period to break in. If the feeling persists after several wears, ensure there are no foreign objects inside the shoe and that the insole is properly seated.

Slipping on surfaces

Check the rubber outsole for excessive wear or accumulation of dirt/debris. Clean the outsole thoroughly. If the outsole is significantly worn, replacement may be necessary.

Discomfort after prolonged wear

Ensure the correct size is being worn and laces are adjusted properly for adequate support. Consider using aftermarket insoles if additional arch support is needed.
