Troubleshooting
Dirt marks on suede
Allow dirt to dry, then gently brush off with a suede brush. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner sparingly.
Laces are difficult to tie or keep tied
Ensure laces are properly threaded and consider using a double knot for extra security.
Soles appear scuffed
Minor scuffs can sometimes be buffed out with a rubber eraser or a magic eraser (test on an inconspicuous area first).
Foot feels uncomfortable after wear
Ensure the correct size is being worn. Check that socks are providing adequate cushioning and fit.

- Cleaning Nylon/Synthetic: Wipe down nylon and synthetic parts with a slightly damp cloth. Mild soap can be used for stubborn marks, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
- Drying: Always air dry the trainers. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or tumble dry these trainers, as this will compromise their structure and materials.
