Troubleshooting
Touch 'n' close strap not sticking
Ensure the strap and the corresponding surface are clean and free from debris. Lint or dirt can reduce adhesion. Gently brush off any particles.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace laces with standard trainer laces of a similar length. Consider using wax-coated laces for increased durability.
Leather scuffs or marks
For minor scuffs, try buffing with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper marks, use a dedicated leather conditioner or cleaner, following product instructions carefully.
Soles showing significant wear
Inspect for deep cuts or excessive thinning. If wear is moderate, ensure they are kept clean for optimal grip. Significant wear may indicate the need for replacement.
