FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for athletic activities?
These trainers are designed for casual wear and everyday comfort. They do not offer the specialized support or cushioning required for intense athletic activities or sports.
What material is the insole made from?
The insole is made from recycled materials, designed to be ergonomic and provide extra comfort.
How do I clean my suede trainers?
Clean suede trainers using a suede brush for general dirt. For stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner, and always test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid soaking the suede.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher marks, try a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner following product instructions.
Unusual smell inside the trainer
Ensure the trainers are completely dry. Use a shoe deodorizer spray or place baking soda inside overnight to absorb odors. Air them out regularly.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the gum sole is clean and free from debris. For very smooth surfaces, consider a light scuffing with fine-grit sandpaper to improve grip, or consult a cobbler.
Laces are worn or frayed
Replace laces with a similar style and length. Many retailers offer replacement laces for trainers.
