FAQs
What is Refibra technology?
Refibra technology is a process that recycles cotton scraps from production and combines them with wood pulp to create new Tencel Lyocell fibers, making the material more sustainable.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, these trainers are not waterproof. They are designed for breathability and comfort, meaning they will allow air to pass through and are not intended for wet conditions.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The UK size 8 is a standard fit. It is recommended to try them on with the type of socks you would normally wear. Your heel should feel secure, and there should be adequate room in the toe box without being too loose.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. The specialized materials, particularly the Tencel Lyocell upper and EVA insole, can be damaged by the harshness of a washing machine cycle.
What is the expected lifespan of these trainers?
The lifespan depends on usage frequency and care. With proper care and regular cleaning, these trainers are designed for durability for daily wear over a significant period.
Are these suitable for running marathons?
While comfortable for general wear and light activity, these trainers are not specifically designed for high-impact, long-distance running like marathons. For such activities, specialized running shoes are recommended.
What kind of socks should I wear with these trainers?
Moisture-wicking socks made from materials like merino wool or synthetic blends are recommended to complement the breathable design and keep your feet dry.
Troubleshooting
Tightness or discomfort on first wear
Wear the trainers for short periods initially to allow the materials to break in and conform to your feet. Ensure the laces are adjusted for a comfortable fit, not too tight.
Reduced breathability
Ensure the mesh lining is clean and free from debris. Check that socks worn are moisture-wicking. Prolonged exposure to very humid conditions may still feel warm.
Scuff marks on the upper
For minor scuffs on the Tencel Lyocell, try gently wiping with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, a specialized suede or fabric cleaner designed for natural fibers might be required, always test in an inconspicuous area first.
Slipping or lack of traction
Ensure the outsole is clean from mud or debris. The tread pattern is designed for casual surfaces; for significantly slippery conditions, use caution.
