Troubleshooting
Trainer feels too tight
Ensure you have the correct size. If the width is the issue, consider if the regular fit is suitable for your foot type. Wearing them for short periods may help break them in.
Laces are difficult to secure with the cover
Experiment with different lacing tension before closing the cover. Ensure the laces are evenly distributed.
Color fading on the upper
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Store trainers in a shaded area and clean gently following care instructions.
