Troubleshooting

Suede appears discolored or dirty

Use a suede eraser for light marks. For deeper stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions. Ensure the shoes are dry before cleaning.

Laces are difficult to tie or come undone

Ensure laces are the correct length. Try a different lacing technique, such as a double knot, for added security.

Midsole feels stiff initially

The ABZORB and SBS cushioning may require a short break-in period. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to conform to your feet.

Unusual squeaking sound

This can sometimes occur due to friction between shoe components. Try inserting a powder or dryer sheet inside the shoe temporarily, or check if any part of the sole is rubbing against another.

These trainers are designed for adult males and are compatible with standard sock wear. Their versatile design makes them suitable for a wide range of casual clothing.

Care:

  • Suede Maintenance: Suede is a delicate material. Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and dust regularly. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow its instructions carefully. Avoid getting the suede wet whenever possible.
  • Cleaning: For the non-suede parts, use a damp cloth with mild soap to clean. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Drying: If the trainers get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, as this can damage the materials.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box, to protect them from dust and direct sunlight.
