These trainers are UK size 8 for adults and feature a secure lace-up fastening for a personalized fit. We recommend trying them on at the end of the day when your feet are typically at their largest, and wearing the type of socks you intend to use with them. Your toes should have a small space at the front, and your heel should feel secure without slipping.

The 'dope-dyed sockliner' refers to an innovative, eco-friendly manufacturing process used for the shoe's insole. It significantly reduces the amount of water (approximately 33%) and carbon emissions (approximately 45%) during production compared to traditional dyeing methods. For you, it means you're wearing a product with a smaller environmental footprint, contributing to sustainability efforts.
For the breathable mesh, gently scrub with a soft brush and mild soapy water, then wipe clean. For the suede parts, use a dedicated suede brush to remove dirt and restore its texture. For stains on suede, use a specialized suede cleaner as directed. Synthetic leather can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Always air dry your trainers completely after cleaning.
The TRUSSTIC support system in the midfoot offers improved stability, which contributes to overall foot support and helps guide the foot's movement. These trainers feature a typical low-cut design for running shoes, providing freedom of movement around the ankle while still offering foundational stability.
Ensure you are tying your laces with a firm double knot. New laces can sometimes be slippery; if the issue persists, consider trying different lacing techniques or replacing the laces with a slightly more textured option.
This is often caused by the insole rubbing against the shoe's interior. Remove the sockliner, clean any debris underneath, and reinsert it. A light sprinkle of baby powder or cornstarch under the insole can also reduce friction and eliminate squeaking.
While these trainers feature breathable mesh, consider wearing moisture-wicking socks to draw sweat away from your feet. Also, ensure your shoes are not tied too tightly, which can restrict air circulation.
Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift dirt and restore the nap of the suede. For tougher spots or stains, apply a small amount of suede cleaner with a clean cloth, following the cleaner's instructions carefully. Avoid scrubbing vigorously.
