Troubleshooting
Sneakers feel too tight or loose.
Ensure you have the correct size (UK 5.5). If they feel slightly tight, try wearing thinner socks during the break-in period. If too loose, try thicker socks or an additional insole. Note that the fit can vary slightly between individuals.
Squeaking sound when walking.
This is often caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior, or moisture. Try removing the insole, cleaning the interior of the shoe and the bottom of the insole, then reinserting. A sprinkle of baby powder or cornstarch under the insole can also help reduce friction.
Pale Ivory color getting dirty quickly.
Lighter colors are prone to showing dirt. Clean them regularly after each wear. For stubborn stains, use a dedicated sneaker cleaner and a soft brush for spot treatment. Consider using a stain repellent spray designed for sneakers before wearing them for the first time.
Scuffs and minor marks appearing on the material.
For light scuffs, a soft eraser or a clean, damp cloth can often remove them. For deeper marks, use a sneaker-specific cleaner and a soft brush, working gently on the affected area. Prevention through careful wear and immediate cleaning is key.
