These trainers feature a combination of premium red suede and durable nylon for the upper, and are set on sturdy gum rubber soles for superior grip.
How should I clean the suede on these trainers?
For best results, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper cleaning or stains, use a suede cleaner specifically designed for the material, following the product's instructions carefully. Avoid using water directly on the suede.
Are these trainers suitable for all-day wear?

What is the sizing recommendation for these trainers?
The trainers generally run true to size. If you typically find yourself between two sizes, it is recommended to choose the smaller size for the best fit.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
Due to the suede material, it is advisable to avoid wearing these trainers in heavy rain or wet conditions. Suede is susceptible to water damage and staining. Consider applying a water-resistant suede protector for light moisture.
Do the trainers provide good grip?

Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained.
Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, apply a suede eraser or a small amount of professional suede cleaner with a clean cloth. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Trainers feel slightly too loose or large.
If you are between sizes, the recommendation is to choose the smaller size. For existing shoes, consider adding a thin insole to improve the fit and comfort.
Sole grip seems reduced.
Regularly clean the gum rubber soles with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove accumulated dirt and debris, which can impair traction. Ensure the soles are dry before wear.
Color fading or uneven appearance on suede.
Avoid prolonged direct sunlight exposure when storing. For minor color issues, a color-refreshing spray specifically designed for red suede can sometimes help restore vibrancy, but consult a professional for significant fading.
Squeaking sound when walking.
A common cause is friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, cleaning the area, and applying a small amount of baby powder or fabric softener to reduce friction. Reinsert the insole.
