FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

The K-SWISS Arvee 1.5 generally fits true to standard adult UK sizing; however, individual foot width may necessitate half-size adjustments.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the leather upper and the adhesives used in the cupsole construction.

What is the best way to keep the leather clean?

Wipe away dirt immediately after use and apply a leather-safe conditioner every few months to keep the material supple.

Are these suitable for running?

These are designed as lifestyle fashion trainers and are not recommended for long-distance running or professional athletic performance.

Does the shoe provide good arch support?

The cupsole provides a stable base and moderate arch support suitable for walking and daily activities.

Can I replace the insoles?

The insoles are generally removable, allowing you to swap them out for custom orthotics if required.

Troubleshooting

Laces feel too tight or loose

Adjust the lace tension by pulling the laces through each eyelet gradually rather than tightening only at the top.

Scuff marks on the leather

Use a specialized leather cleaner or a slightly damp cloth with mild soap; follow up with a leather protector spray.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Getting started with your Arvee 1.5 trainers is straightforward; simply adjust the laces to your desired tension to achieve a lockdown fit. To maintain the life of your trainers, avoid machine washing. Instead, use a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, apply a leather-specific conditioner periodically to prevent the material from drying or cracking. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the leather and internal padding.
