FAQs
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is primarily constructed from high-quality grey suede.
What is the sole made from?
The sole is made from 100% rubber, specifically a gum rubber outsole for grip.
Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance?
These trainers are designed for casual wear and everyday comfort, not for high-intensity athletic performance.
How do I clean the suede exterior?
Use a suede brush for regular cleaning and a specialized suede cleaner for stains. Avoid getting the suede wet.
What does 'Decon' mean in the product name?
'Decon' refers to a deconstructed version, often implying a softer, more minimalist construction compared to the original model.
What is the fit like?
They generally offer a comfortable fit with a round toe, suitable for adult foot sizes.
Do these trainers have good grip?
Yes, the gum rubber outsole provides reliable traction suitable for everyday walking surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Suede material looks dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap. For tougher stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner and test on an inconspicuous area first.
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable
Allow the shoes to break in naturally. Wearing them for short periods initially can help the materials conform to your foot shape.
Gum sole shows scuff marks
Attempt to gently clean scuff marks with a damp cloth and mild soap. For persistent marks, a pencil eraser can sometimes work on light scuffs.
Color transfer from suede to socks
This can occur with new suede. The issue often reduces with wear. Ensure socks are of a color that won't be easily affected or consider wearing darker socks initially.
