FAQs
Are the Saucony Shadow 5000 Kissaten suitable for actual running?
While the Shadow 5000 has roots in running heritage, the Kissaten edition is primarily designed for style and comfort, making it ideal for casual wear rather than intense athletic performance.
How should I clean the printed teacup pattern on the suede?
Avoid direct cleaning of the printed area. Use a soft suede brush to maintain the texture and gently wipe around the pattern. Harsh cleaning may damage the print.
What is the primary inspiration for the Kissaten collection?
The Kissaten collection draws inspiration from the nostalgic atmosphere and detailed elements found in Japanese coffee and teahouses.
What materials are used in the construction of this shoe?
The shoe is constructed with a combination of air-mesh, leather, and crackled gloss split suede.
Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, construction, and unique design elements of the shoe.
How do I ensure the best fit for my feet?
Refer to Saucony's official size guide for accurate measurements. Trying them on with the type of socks you typically wear is also recommended.
Troubleshooting
Laces become dirty
Remove laces and hand wash gently with mild soap and water. Allow to air dry completely before re-lacing.
Suede texture becomes matted
Use a suede brush to gently lift and restore the nap of the suede. Brush in one direction.
Leather shows scuffs
For minor scuffs, use a leather conditioner or a matching color polish. For deeper scuffs, consult a professional shoe repair service.
Fit feels slightly tight
Wear the shoes with thin socks initially to break them in. Over time, the materials should adapt to your foot shape. Consider thicker socks for a snugger fit or thinner socks for a looser feel.
