FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The Guide v7.3 is a lifestyle trainer inspired by a running shoe. While it offers comfort and support for daily activities, it is not designed for intense athletic training or competitive running.
How do I choose the right size?
These are unisex trainers. Refer to the size chart provided by the retailer for accurate UK sizing. They are based on standard adult foot sizing.
What are the main materials used?
The trainers feature a combination of luxurious hairy suedes, smooth nubucks, and a breathable triangle mesh on the upper.
How do I clean the suede and nubuck?
Use a dedicated suede brush for general cleaning. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner can be used, but always test on a small, hidden area first. Avoid water saturation.
What comes with the shoes?
The trainers come with two pairs of laces: one tonal (matching the shoe color) and one contrast lace. The packaging is also designed with a Y2K aesthetic.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear suede and nubuck shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions, as the materials can be damaged and stained.
Is this a limited edition release?
As a collaboration, these trainers are typically produced in limited quantities.
Troubleshooting
Laces fraying or breaking.
Replace with a new set of laces. Consider using the included spare laces or purchasing a durable pair.
Suede material looks worn or dirty.
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For tougher stains, consult a suede cleaner and follow its instructions carefully.
Discomfort after initial wear.
Allow a break-in period of a few wears. Ensure you have selected the correct size and consider using the alternate laces if they affect fit.
Creasing on the upper materials.
Some creasing is natural with suede and nubuck. To minimize, avoid over-tightening laces and use shoe trees when not in use.
