Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight or small.
Due to the small fitting nature, consider purchasing a half or full size larger than your usual size. If already purchased, assess if the tightness is due to initial stiffness or incorrect sizing. If incorrect sizing, consider exchanging for a larger size.
Cushioning feels inadequate.
Ensure the NB Comfort Insert is correctly positioned. For additional cushioning, consider using aftermarket insoles designed for trainers.
Traction seems poor on wet surfaces.
The rubber outsole provides good traction, but caution is always advised on very wet or slippery surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean, as dirt can impede grip.
Leather shows signs of wear quickly.
Regularly clean and condition the leather upper using appropriate leather care products to maintain its appearance and durability.
