Troubleshooting
Initial stiffness
New trainers can feel stiff. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in and mold to your feet.
Color transfer on socks
Dye from new, dark-colored footwear can sometimes transfer. This is common and usually reduces after a few wears. Ensure trainers are fully dry before wearing.
Sizing feels off
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If the fit is still not right, consider the availability of other sizes or models that might offer a different fit.
