FAQs
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, these trainers are not designed to be waterproof. They are made with breathable fabric and are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions.
What is Tencel Lyocell and Refibra technology?
Tencel Lyocell is a sustainable fiber derived from wood pulp. Refibra technology is an innovative recycling process that blends wood pulp with pre-consumer cotton scraps to create a new, high-quality cellulosic fiber, contributing to the eco-conscious nature of the upper.
How do I clean the EVA insole?
The EVA insole can often be removed. You can gently clean it with a damp cloth and mild soap, then let it air dry completely before placing it back into the trainer.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Machine washing can damage the materials, construction, and cushioning. Spot cleaning with a damp cloth is the preferred method.
What is the main benefit of the mesh lining?
The mesh lining significantly enhances breathability, promoting airflow within the shoe. This helps to keep your feet cool, dry, and comfortable throughout the day, and can also help reduce odor.
Are these trainers suitable for athletic performance?
These trainers are designed primarily for comfort and style in casual settings. While they offer good support for daily activities, they are not intended for high-impact athletic performance.

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and readjust for a more comfortable fit. If the issue persists, consider if the size is appropriate or if socks are too thick.
Discomfort after prolonged wear
Ensure the correct size is being worn and that the EVA insole is providing adequate support. Check if socks are causing friction or discomfort.
Slight odor development
Utilize the breathability features by airing the shoes out after use. Ensure feet are clean and dry before wearing. Consider using odor-absorbing insoles or sprays if necessary.
Canvas upper shows dirt marks
Gently spot clean the affected area with a slightly damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild fabric cleaner specifically designed for canvas, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
