Full details

Featuring a lightweight leather and textile construction with signature Cloudfoam cushioning, these trainers provide reliable support for walking or light fitness routines; however, users should note they are optimized for moderate activity rather than high-intensity long-distance marathon running.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for marathons?

These trainers are designed for casual use and light fitness. They are not recommended for competitive long-distance running.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the leather upper and affect the Cloudfoam midsole. Stick to surface cleaning.

Do these come with extra laces?

The trainers include standard laces configured for a secure, regular fit.

Is the leather upper durable?

The leather is durable for everyday wear, provided it is kept away from harsh chemicals and cleaned regularly.

What is the primary difference between Run 70s and Run 72?

Both share the retro aesthetic, though specific material placement and design nuances in the Run 72 are optimized for modern comfort.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight across the midfoot

Adjust the lace-up closure to loosen the tension over the instep; ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks.

Cloudfoam feels less responsive over time

This is often due to compression from heavy use. Allow the foam to recover by rotating your footwear with another pair.

Sizing confusion upon delivery

Always check the internal tongue label for the specific UK size, as the external box may display US or EU sizing standards.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best experience, verify your fit carefully before use. Because these shoes feature leather elements, it is recommended to try them on with the type of socks you intend to wear daily to ensure the regular fit meets your personal comfort preference.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the upper. Wipe leather sections with a damp cloth.
  2. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation or fading.
  3. Maintenance: Avoid machine washing to maintain the integrity of the leather and the cushioning materials. If they become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators.
