What does C-CAP midsole cushioning mean?

C-CAP refers to a compression-molded EVA material that provides lightweight cushioning and durable support.

Can I wear these trainers if I have wide feet?

Does the silver metallic leather require special care?

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are not overtightened. If the issue persists, consider if the size is correct or if insoles are affecting the fit.

Discomfort after wearing

Ensure the laces are adjusted for a comfortable, secure fit. Break in the shoes with shorter wear periods initially. Check for any internal seams or tags that might be causing irritation.

Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces

The rubber outsole provides traction, but performance may be reduced on extremely wet or slippery surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris.

Leather components show scuffs

Use a leather cleaner or conditioner specifically designed for footwear to address minor scuffs and maintain the material's appearance. For deeper marks, consult a professional shoe repair service.
