FAQs

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the materials, particularly the suede and internal cushioning. Spot cleaning and hand washing are the preferred methods.

Do these trainers offer good grip?

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight.

Ensure you have the correct size. For initial wear, try them on with the socks you typically use. Some stretching may occur naturally with wear.

Laces come undone frequently.

Try a different lacing knot, such as a secure reef knot, or consider replacing the laces with a pair that has more grip.

Slight squeaking noise during walking.

This can sometimes occur due to friction between shoe components. Check for any loose insoles or debris. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help reduce noise.

Discoloration on suede areas.

Use a suede eraser for minor marks. For more significant discoloration, consult a specialist shoe cleaner and follow product instructions carefully.
