Troubleshooting
Laces become untied frequently
Ensure laces are tied securely with a double knot. Consider replacing them with anti-slip laces if the issue persists.
Slight discomfort during first wear
This is normal for new footwear. Wear the trainers for short periods initially to allow them to break in and conform to your feet. Ensure the correct size has been selected.
Material appears scuffed or dirty
Refer to the 'Care' section for cleaning instructions. Use a damp cloth and a soft brush for gentle cleaning of nylon and mixed materials.
Tread feels slippery on wet surfaces
The textured grip tread is designed for general use. Exercise caution on very wet or smooth surfaces, as with any footwear. Avoid using in conditions where extreme grip is required.

- Cleaning the Upper: For the nylon and mixed material upper, use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt and dust. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
