Slight stiffness on first wear.

Wear the trainers around the house for short periods to allow the materials to soften and conform to your foot shape. Consider wearing them with socks.

Suede appears dirty or stained.

Use a specialized suede brush to lift the nap and remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, try a suede eraser or consult a professional shoe cleaner. Always test cleaning methods on an inconspicuous area first.
