Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure the laces are threaded properly through all eyelets and use a double knot for extra security.
Creasing on the toe box
Use a shoe tree when not wearing the trainers to help the leather maintain its shape and reduce depth of creases.
Surface dirt on the outsole
Use a soft-bristled brush with a mild soap solution to scrub the rubber sole, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the best fit, ensure you use the lace-up system to secure the midfoot, as this helps maintain the shoe's shape. For care, wipe the leather surfaces regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. If the shoes get wet, air-dry them away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from cracking. Avoid machine washing, as this can degrade the adhesives and compromise the material integrity. Using a leather conditioner occasionally can help keep the material supple and prevent premature creasing.
