Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Setting up your Steve Madden Possession E Trainers is straightforward:
- Unboxing: Carefully remove the trainers from their packaging.
- Lacing: The trainers come with a traditional lacing system. Before wearing, adjust the laces to your desired tightness. Ensure the fit is snug but comfortable, allowing for natural foot movement without excessive pressure points.
- First Wear: Walk around in them briefly to ensure the fit feels right. The padded collar will conform to your ankle over time for enhanced comfort.
Compatibility
These trainers are highly versatile and compatible with a wide range of casual and contemporary styles:
- Clothing: Ideal with jeans, leggings, joggers, casual trousers, shorts, and even casual dresses or skirts. They blend seamlessly with athleisure wear.
- Occasions: Perfect for everyday wear, casual outings, city exploration, social gatherings, and light activities. They are primarily fashion trainers and not recommended for intensive athletic training.
- Size Recommendation: Steve Madden recommends taking your own size for the best fit.
Care
Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: The upper material is a combination of fabric and synthetic (polyester). To clean, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth using a mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive scrubbers that could damage the material.
- Cleaning the Sole: For the chunky platform sole, use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) and mild soap to remove dirt and grime from the chevron-patterned grip. Wipe clean with a damp cloth.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, as these can cause material degradation.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
- Stain Treatment: For specific stains, address them promptly. Use a cleaning product designed for synthetic fabrics, testing it on an inconspicuous area first.
