FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard adult UK sizing for trainers.
Can I use these for skateboarding?
While based on skate silhouettes, this specific series is optimized for lifestyle and daily wear.
How do I clean the white parts of the sole?
Use a damp cloth with mild soap or a dedicated rubber sole cleaner to gently wipe away scuffs.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles can typically be removed if you need to insert your own custom orthotics.
Will the black canvas fade over time?
Like all dyed cotton canvas, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may cause slight fading over a long period.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff when new
Wear the shoes for short periods around the house to help the materials loosen up naturally.
Surface dirt accumulating on black fabric
Use a dry, soft brush to gently flick off dust. Avoid using water unless necessary to prevent water marks.
Laces coming undone frequently
Double knot the laces or replace them with higher-friction cotton laces if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure you are wearing the appropriate thickness of socks you intend to use daily. To maintain your trainers, use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt from the suede and canvas. For deeper stains, apply a specialized sneaker cleaner designed for fabric and suede; avoid machine washing as it can compromise the structural integrity of the glue and materials. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading of the black upper.
