FAQs

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is a combination of suede and oxford fabric.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While inspired by running sneakers, they are designed for casual wear and light activity, not for serious athletic performance.

How should I clean the suede parts?

Use a suede brush for general cleaning and a specialized suede cleaner for stains. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first and allow to air dry.

What kind of midsole do they have?

They feature a die-cut EVA midsole for lightweight cushioning.

What is the heel made of for reinforcement?

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained.

Use a suede brush to gently remove dry dirt. For stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner with a clean cloth, following the product's directions, and allow to air dry.

Laces are worn or frayed.

Replace laces with a new pair of similar length and material to maintain the shoe's appearance and fit.

Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces.

The rubber outsole offers good grip, but performance on very wet surfaces may be limited. Dry the shoes thoroughly after exposure to moisture.
