Troubleshooting
Touch 'n' close strap not sticking
Ensure the strap and the corresponding area are clean and free from dust or debris. If the hook-and-loop material is worn, it may need replacement.
Discoloration on leather parts
Clean gently with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for footwear, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
Shoe feels tight
Ensure the correct size has been selected. The shoes are designed for a standard fit; consider socks that are not too thick. The leather may offer some stretch over time with wear.
Soles showing signs of wear
Regular cleaning can help maintain the sole's integrity. For significant wear, professional repair might be an option, though typically these trainers are for casual, everyday use.
