FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

These trainers are designed for casual lifestyle use. While comfortable for walking, they are not performance running shoes.

How do I clean the textile parts?

Use a gentle brush or a cloth dampened with cold water and a small amount of mild detergent, then let them air dry.

What materials are used in the construction?

The upper is constructed from a combination of leather and textile, while the outsole is made of durable rubber.

Do these fit true to size?

Yes, the Run 70s 2.0 and Run 72 models typically follow standard UK adult sizing.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, if you have custom orthotics, the stock insoles can generally be removed.

Are they suitable for rainy weather?

While the rubber sole provides good grip, the leather and textile materials are not fully waterproof, so avoid wearing them in heavy rain to protect the materials.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on the leather upper

Use shoe trees when not in use to help the shoe retain its shape and minimize deep creases.

Dirt stuck in the outsole tread

Use a soft-bristled brush to gently dislodge debris from the rubber grooves without damaging the sole.

General scuffs on the exterior

Apply a mild leather-safe cleaner or a damp cloth with very light soap to buff out minor marks.

Pros and Cons

  • Effective cushioning system for shock absorption

Cons

  • Light-coloured models may show dirt and stains more easily

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your trainers maintain their look, keep them away from harsh cleaning chemicals. For daily maintenance, wipe down the leather portions with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove surface dust. If the shoes become damp from rain, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the materials. When storing, keep them in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the foam cushioning and the leather upper. For sizing, the Run series generally fits true to size, but ensure you select your specific UK measurement as noted on the product label for the most comfortable fit.
