Troubleshooting
Laces are difficult to adjust
Ensure the laces are threaded correctly through the eyelets. If they feel stiff, try slightly loosening the entire lacing system before re-tightening.
Slight squeaking sound
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try walking on different surfaces or ensure the insole is properly seated. If persistent, a small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help.
Mesh appears discolored
Avoid exposing the trainers to excessive direct sunlight for prolonged periods, which can cause discoloration. Clean gently with a damp cloth as per care instructions.
