Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If slightly tight, wearing them with thinner socks or using shoe stretchers can help. If significantly tight, consider exchanging for a larger size if possible.
Suede material looks dull or stained
Use a suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow its instructions carefully. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace worn laces with new ones of a similar length and material. This is a standard maintenance task for most footwear.
Midsole creasing or showing signs of wear
This is normal wear and tear over time. To minimize, avoid bending the shoe excessively when walking and clean the midsole regularly.
