Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction between components. Try wearing thicker socks or apply a small amount of talcum powder under the insole.
Discomfort on first wear
New balance trainers, especially those with advanced cushioning, may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time.
Suede appears dirty or matted
Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn marks, consult a suede cleaning guide or use a suede cleaner product.
