Troubleshooting

Sizing feels incorrect

Ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks. If the fit is still uncomfortable, consider trying a different size if available, or consult a sizing guide for accurate measurements.

Shoe appears to be losing cushioning

The cushioning may naturally degrade over extensive use. For optimal performance, consider replacing trainers after 300-500 miles or when you notice a significant loss of support.

Color bleeding or fading

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean according to care instructions using a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, but do not saturate the shoes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.

Compatibility: Designed primarily as running trainers for adult males, compatible with standard athletic socks. While they offer a bold aesthetic, their primary function is running.

Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your trainers:

  1. Cleaning: Gently wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
