FAQs

Can I machine wash these trainers?

What does 'Unisex' mean for this product?

What are the primary materials used in the upper?

Troubleshooting
Slightly tight fit upon first wear
Wear the shoes around the house for short periods to allow them to naturally break in and conform to your foot shape. Consider using thicker socks during this break-in period.
Discoloration on the upper material
Wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth. If persistent, use a specialized mild cleaner for synthetic shoe materials, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
Ensure the shoes are not being used for activities beyond their intended purpose (e.g., extreme sports). Regular cleaning can help maintain material integrity, but extreme wear will eventually impact cushioning.
