FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?

The TB490 Club trainers have a standard width. While the suede offers some flexibility, individuals with very wide feet might find them snug. It's recommended to try them on if possible.

How do I clean mud stains from the suede?

Allow the mud to dry completely. Then, gently brush off the dried mud with a suede brush. For persistent marks, use a suede eraser or consult a professional cleaner.

Can I wear these trainers in the rain?

It is best to avoid wearing suede trainers in heavy rain as it can stain and damage the material. Using a suede protector spray can offer some resistance to light moisture.

What is the main difference between the TB490 Club and the original TB490?

The TB490 Club features a modern re-take on the classic, notably including a distinctive long fold-over tongue, while retaining the retro pitch-side aesthetic.

What kind of socks should I wear with these trainers?

Any type of casual sock works well. Consider thinner socks to avoid making the trainers feel too tight, especially during the break-in period.

Is the grey colorway true to the pictures?

The grey suede is a versatile neutral tone. Actual color may vary slightly due to screen calibration and lighting conditions during photography.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a suede eraser and follow up with a protector spray.

Trainers feel stiff or uncomfortable

Wear them around the house for short periods to break them in. Ensure the laces are adjusted to provide a comfortable fit without being too tight.

Suede color transfer to socks or clothing

This can occur with new suede items. Ensure the trainers are completely dry before wearing and consider using a color-safe suede protector spray. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
