Troubleshooting

Creasing on leather upper

Minor creasing is natural with leather wear. To minimize, avoid over-tightening laces and consider using shoe trees for storage.

Squeaking sole

This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try walking on them a bit more, or apply a small amount of talcum powder where the sole meets the upper if the noise persists.

Discoloration of materials

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals, which can cause fading. Clean with appropriate mild cleaners for leather and rubber.

Laces becoming worn

The original laces can be replaced with standard shoelaces of a similar length and style. Ensure new laces are tied securely but not overly tight.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution and a damp cloth. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  2. Drying: Air dry the trainers naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat or tumble dry, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box, to protect them from dust and maintain their shape.
  4. Leather Care: Consider using a leather conditioner periodically to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking, especially if worn frequently.
