Can these trainers be put in a washing machine?

Troubleshooting

Suede material appears dirty or scuffed.

Use a dedicated suede brush or eraser to gently remove marks and restore the nap. For stubborn stains, consider a suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully.

Shoes feel slightly tight.

Suede and leather can stretch slightly with wear. Wear them with thin socks initially. If still uncomfortable, consider using shoe stretchers or consulting a professional.

Gum sole is showing dark marks.

These marks are often superficial scuffs. Try cleaning the sole with a damp cloth and mild soap. For persistent marks, a magic eraser can sometimes be effective, but test on an inconspicuous area first.

Laces are worn or broken.

Replace laces with a similar length and color. Many sports retailers offer a variety of lace options.
