Troubleshooting
Foot feels unstable during cornering
Ensure the laces are tightened evenly across the midfoot to improve lockdown and lateral stability.
Visible dirt accumulation on the upper
Gently scrub with a soft-bristled brush dipped in a mixture of water and mild detergent, then wipe clean.
Excessive midsole wear
Rotate with another pair of running shoes to allow the foam to fully decompress and recover between sessions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, start by ensuring the correct fit for your foot size; the UK 5 variant offers a standard adult fit. When lacing, use the "runner's knot" through the top eyelet if you experience heel slippage to ensure a secure lockdown. To maintain the life of your trainers, remove them by untying the laces rather than stepping on the heel to prevent structural breakdown of the heel counter. Clean the exterior with a soft brush and mild soap, and always air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent damage to the midsole foam.
