Troubleshooting
Laces are difficult to tighten
Ensure laces are threaded through eyelets correctly. If laces feel stiff, they may need breaking in. Consider replacing with a different lace material if persistent.
Slight discomfort on first wear
New trainers often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to mold to your feet. Ensure you have the correct size.
Material shows scuffs or marks
Gently clean the affected area with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher marks, use a specialized shoe cleaner appropriate for the material.
