Are these trainers suitable for athletic performance?
These trainers are designed for casual wear and vintage style. They feature a gum outsole for grip but are not intended for high-impact athletic activities.
How should I clean the green overlays?
The green overlays are typically made of leather or synthetic material. Wipe them clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Do these trainers run true to size?

Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff on first wear.
Wear the shoes around the house for short periods to allow the leather to naturally soften and conform to your foot shape. Consider using a leather conditioner after the initial break-in period.
Suede T-toe appears dirty or matted.
Gently brush the suede with a suede brush in one direction to lift the nap and remove dust. For more stubborn marks, a suede eraser can be effective.
Gum sole is scuffed or marked.
Minor scuffs can often be removed with a damp cloth and gentle scrubbing. For tougher marks, a magic eraser may be used with caution on the rubber sole only.
Laces become dirty.
Remove the laces and hand wash them with mild soap and water. Allow them to air dry completely before re-lacing.
