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.
The Whirlwind Classic is WALSH' s iconic shoe model. Its name, "Whirlwind," evokes the lightness and swiftness that define the product. The Whirlwind focuses on lightweight, high-speed performance, featuring a soft EVA midsole combined with a Vibram Moreflex outsole. Thanks to its outstanding performance, it was recognised by Vince Regan as the quintessential marathon shoe of 1981.
Each Walsh shoe is crafted using the time-honored hand-lasting technique, which ensures structural stability, superior support, and long-lasting durability. This artisanal process creates exceptional breathability, a snug and comfortable fit, and a refined, elegant silhouette.
