Troubleshooting
Traction feels slippery on wet surfaces.
Ensure the N-ergy outsole is clean and free of debris. While designed for grounding, the compound may be less effective on extremely slick surfaces compared to specialized grip outsoles. Consider these trainers more for dry to moderately wet conditions.
Hairy suede appears matted or dirty.
Use a suede brush to gently lift and restore the texture. For stubborn dirt, a suede eraser can be used sparingly. If the suede becomes wet, allow it to dry completely before brushing.
Arch support feels too firm initially.
The Stability Web arch support may require a short break-in period. Wear the trainers for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time to allow them to conform to your foot.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning Suede: For the hairy suede, use a specialized suede brush to gently remove dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid excessive water on suede areas.
- Upper Materials: Wipe down the Cordura and ripstop sections with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
- Midsole & Outsole: Clean the midsole and outsole with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the cushioning or rubber.
- Drying: Always air dry trainers away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can cause materials to warp or degrade.
