Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise when walking

This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try walking on different surfaces. If it persists, check if the insole is properly seated or if moisture is trapped inside. Ensure the shoes are completely dry.

Discomfort or pressure points

Ensure you have the correct size. Try wearing them with different types of socks. Break them in gradually by wearing them for shorter periods initially.

Color transfer from accents to socks

New shoes, especially with vibrant dyes, can sometimes experience minor color transfer. This usually reduces after a few wears. Avoid wearing light-colored socks until this subsides.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for adult male feet, specifically in UK sizing. They are compatible with standard athletic socks.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains on leather and Durabuck, use a specialized sneaker cleaner and a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaking the shoe.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Wipe down with a damp cloth. A soft brush can be used for textured areas.
  3. Laces: Remove laces for separate cleaning, either by hand washing or placing them in a mesh laundry bag and machine washing on a gentle cycle.
  4. Drying: Always air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or prolonged sunlight, which can damage materials.
