Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or small
This model is known to run small. Consider purchasing a larger size. If already purchased, ensure they are unworn and try exchanging them for a size up.
Faux fur lining feels compressed
Gently fluff the lining with your fingers. If the shoe is new, the lining will naturally settle and regain its loft with wear.
Rubber sole scuff marks
Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently scrub away scuff marks from the rubber cupsole. For persistent marks, a pencil eraser can sometimes be effective.
Difficulty lacing up evenly
Ensure the laces are loosened fully before starting to lace. Adjust tension gradually to achieve a comfortable and even fit across the foot.

Care: To maintain the appearance and condition of your trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For more stubborn stains on synthetic materials, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly.
- Cleaning the Lining: The faux fur lining can be gently spot-cleaned with a damp cloth. Avoid saturating the lining.
- Cleaning the Sole: Use a brush to remove dirt and debris from the rubber cupsole. A slightly damp cloth can be used for tougher marks.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag, to protect them from dust and preserve their shape.
