Troubleshooting
Stiff sole initially
The sole may feel stiff at first. Wear the trainers for a few short periods to allow them to break in naturally. Avoid bending them excessively.
Discoloration of mesh
If the mesh becomes discolored, try a gentle cleaning solution specifically designed for athletic shoes. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
Slipping sensation
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If the issue persists, check the fit; the trainers might be too large. Consider an insole for added grip if needed.
