FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
These trainers are designed for casual walking and everyday comfort. While they offer cushioning, they are not specifically engineered for the demands of running and may lack the necessary support and shock absorption for this activity.
How do I ensure the Gore-Tex feature is working effectively?
The Gore-Tex with XCR technology works by preventing water from entering the shoe while allowing perspiration vapor to escape. To maintain its effectiveness, keep the shoes clean and dry them properly if they get wet. The feature is most noticeable in preventing external moisture ingress and managing internal climate during moderate activity.
What is the primary benefit of the EVA midsole?
The EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) midsole provides lightweight cushioning. This helps to absorb impact during walking and provides a comfortable feel underfoot throughout the day.
Can I wear these trainers in the rain?
Yes, the Gore-Tex with XCR feature helps to keep feet dry and protected from light rain and moisture. However, they are not waterproof boots and may not be suitable for prolonged exposure to heavy downpours or submersion.
What does the Union Jack symbol signify?
The Union Jack symbol is a design element intended to add heritage style to the trainers, referencing classic British design elements.
How should I clean scuffs on the synthetic leather?
For minor scuffs on the synthetic leather, try gently wiping the area with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, a very mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth. Always allow to air dry.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Wear the shoes with appropriate socks for a few hours each day to allow them to naturally mold to your feet. Ensure you have the correct size; if discomfort persists, consider trying a different size or width if available.
Feet feel damp despite Gore-Tex feature
The Gore-Tex feature primarily manages moisture from the outside and regulates internal climate. If feet feel damp, it may be due to high perspiration on very warm days or prolonged intense activity. Ensure socks are breathable. The feature is most effective against external moisture like rain or puddles.
Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces
While designed for enhanced stride, the traction may vary on extremely slick or wet surfaces. Ensure the soles are clean of debris. For significantly wet conditions, be mindful of your gait and consider specialized footwear if this is a frequent concern.

Compatibility: Suitable for adult women. Their design is intended for casual walking and everyday wear. They are not specialized for particular sports or activities.
Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the synthetic leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the material.
