Care Instructions
We recommend that you do not put your Walsh footwear in a washing machine or tumble dryer. Instead, we suggest removing any dirt as quick as possible with a brush or cloth. If you wish to wash your footwear, please use warm water and let these dry naturally, avoiding direct sunlight and heat. See more details on shoes care.
Please note: This shoe runs small. We recommend choosing one size larger than your usual size. For exact sizing, please refer to the last, which corresponds to foot length.
Norman Walsh developed the TORNADO in the mid-to-late 1970s to meet the demands of athletes competing in major marathons and races across the globe. The shoe gained notable popularity during the 1983 London Marathon.
The TORNADO Lite is a refined evolution of the original 1970s TORNADO model, offering a lighter and more modern silhouette. Dressed in a rich, sophisticated British retro blue, this version blends heritage with contemporary minimalism. The upper is crafted from lightweight single-layer nylon and soft suede, replacing traditional leather overlays with stitched reverse seams for a sleeker, more understated look.
It features an ultra-lightweight upper grounded to a niptooth outsole, with added EVA cushioning in the midsole to withstand strenuous use and deliver enhanced comfort. The result is a timeless performance classic reimagined for everyday versatility and minimalist style.
