Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are not pulled too tightly. If the shoes continue to feel tight, they may be the wrong size or width.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes be caused by the insole rubbing against the shoe interior. Try removing and reinserting the insole, or place a thin piece of paper or fabric under the insole.
Dirt or stains on the beige material
Use a damp cloth with mild soap for spot cleaning. For tougher stains, use a specialized shoe cleaner and a soft brush, following the care instructions.

Care:
To maintain the appearance of your 'Dolce Sandstone' trainers:
- Spot Cleaning: For minor marks, use a soft cloth dampened with cool water and mild soap. Gently wipe the affected area.
