Can these trainers be used for running?
These trainers are primarily designed for skateboarding and casual wear. While comfortable, they may not offer the specialized support or cushioning required for serious running activities.
How should I care for the suede material?
Use a suede brush for dry dirt and a slightly damp cloth with mild soap for stains. Always air dry and consider a suede protector spray for added protection.

Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or loose.
Adjust lacing to find a more comfortable fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size. For persistent fit issues, consider thicker or thinner socks.
Suede material looks dirty or stained.
Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift dirt. For tougher stains, use a damp cloth with a minimal amount of suede cleaner, and allow to air dry completely.
Sole or stitching appears damaged.
Inspect for wear and tear. Minor issues might be repairable by a cobbler. Significant damage may indicate the end of the product's intended lifespan for intense use.
