Troubleshooting
Scuffs on leather surface
Use a leather-specific cleaner and a soft cloth to gently buff out scuff marks. For deeper scuffs, a professional leather repair service might be considered.
Laces becoming worn
Replace worn laces with standard shoelaces. Ensure the new laces are of a similar length and material for optimal fit.
Slightly tight fit
Wear the trainers with thin socks initially and allow them to break in over time. Wearing them for short periods indoors can help stretch the leather gently.
