Troubleshooting

Suede colour transfer

Ensure the trainers are dry before wearing. If colour transfer occurs, try brushing the affected garment with a dry cloth.

Laces becoming dirty

Remove laces and wash them separately by hand with mild soap and water, or replace them if heavily soiled.

Reduced grip on the sole

Clean the gum rubber sole with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that may be affecting traction.

Discomfort after initial wear

Allow a break-in period. Ensure laces are adjusted correctly for a snug but not overly tight fit. If discomfort persists, check the sizing.

Care:

  • Suede Cleaning: Due to the suede material, it is essential to use a suede brush to remove dirt and dust regularly. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and a clean cloth, following the product's instructions carefully. Avoid washing machines or excessive water, as this can damage the suede.
  • Protection: Consider using a suede protector spray to help repel water and stains, extending the life and appearance of the material.
