Troubleshooting

Sizing feels slightly off

Try wearing them with different sock thicknesses. If the issue persists, consider if a half-size adjustment might be needed, though this specific model is designed for a standard fit.

Outer sole appears worn quickly

Ensure you are using the trainers for their intended casual purpose and not for high-impact activities or rough terrain, which can accelerate wear.

Discomfort after initial wear

Allow a break-in period of a few wears. Ensure laces are adjusted correctly for a secure yet comfortable fit without being too tight.
