FAQs

Are these unisex?

Yes, the Shadow 5000 is a unisex model available in a wide range of sizes for adults.

How should I clean the fabric sections?

Do these run true to size?

Most users find they run true to standard UK sizing, but it is always recommended to check a sizing guide if you are between sizes.

Can I replace the insoles?

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight during first wear

The materials may need a brief break-in period; try wearing them for shorter durations initially or adjust the lacing tension.

Surface dirt on the grey suede panels

Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift dirt; avoid liquid cleaners on suede unless specifically rated for it.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers require no special setup; they are ready for wear right out of the box. To ensure a perfect fit, consult a sizing chart to match your standard UK adult size. For care, avoid machine washing to maintain the material finish. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the uppers. For stubborn stains, use a damp cloth with a mild cleaning solution designed for athletic shoes, ensuring you do not soak the material. Always air-dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent material warping.
