Troubleshooting
Laces loosening frequently
Ensure laces are tied securely with a double knot. Consider replacing them with grip-enhancing laces if the issue persists.
Discomfort during initial wear
This is common as the trainers break in. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the lacing is adjusted for a comfortable fit without being too tight.
Scuff marks on the rubber toe cap
Gently scrub the marks with a damp cloth and a small amount of non-gel toothpaste or a specialized shoe cleaner. For tougher marks, use a magic eraser carefully.
Slight odor developing
Ensure feet are dry before wearing. Remove insoles if possible and air them out. Use a shoe deodorizer spray or place dry tea bags inside the shoes overnight to absorb moisture and odors.
