FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, these are fashion lifestyle shoes inspired by martial arts and do not have the cushioning or support required for running.

How do I maintain the leather material?

Wipe regularly with a soft cloth and use leather-specific conditioners to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.

Does the shoe run true to size?

They generally follow standard sizing, but because of the slim, ballet-inspired fit, some users prefer a slightly thinner sock for comfort.

What is the primary material?

The upper is constructed from high-quality leather, providing both durability and a premium aesthetic.

Can I use my own orthotic insoles?

The low-profile nature of this shoe means there is limited room for bulky aftermarket insoles, though thin inserts may fit.

Troubleshooting

Laces coming undone easily

Try a double knot, or utilize the provided alternative lace sets which may have different friction characteristics.

Minor scuffs on the leather surface

Use a specialized leather cleaner or a neutral cream polish to buff out light scuffs gently.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your sneakers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:

  1. Fitting: The shoes are designed to fit securely; try them on with thin socks to maintain the intended silhouette.
  2. Lacing: Swap the provided lace sets based on your desired look. Always ensure laces are threaded evenly to prevent uneven pressure across the top of the foot.
  3. Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dust and debris. Since the upper is leather, avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemical cleaners that may damage the animal pattern.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or fading over time.
