FAQs
Are these trainers waterproof?

How do I clean the blue suede?
Use a soft brush to remove dirt. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and a lightly damp cloth. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
What does MTE-1 stand for?
MTE stands for 'Made for the Elements,' indicating enhanced features for comfort and durability in various conditions.
Can these trainers be worn in winter?
While they offer more durability than standard trainers, they are best suited for mild to cool weather. For very cold or snowy conditions, more specialized winter footwear is recommended.

Troubleshooting
Suede becoming stiff or discolored
Clean gently with a suede brush and apply a suede conditioner. Avoid exposing to excessive moisture or direct sunlight.
Laces wear out quickly
Replace laces with standard shoelaces. Consider waxed laces for added durability and water resistance.
Fit feels too tight around the ankle
Ensure laces are not tied too tightly. Wear with thinner socks or consider if this high-top style is suitable for your preference.
