FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the 1906R's sole unit?

How should I clean the suede parts of the trainers?

Use a suede brush to remove dry dirt and a specialized suede cleaner for stains, always following product instructions and testing in a small area first.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you have the correct size. If still tight, try wearing thinner socks or allow a short break-in period.

Suede material looks dirty or stained

Use a dedicated suede cleaner and a suede brush following product instructions. Test on an inconspicuous area first.

Reduced cushioning effectiveness over time

The cushioning is designed for sustained performance, but consider replacement if significant wear is evident after extended use.

Mesh upper appears damaged

Gently clean with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive materials or excessive force. For significant tears, professional repair may be needed.
