FAQs
What inspired the design of the VS-1 Contact Trainers?

How should I clean my VS-1 Contact Trainers?
Use a soft, damp cloth for general cleaning. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaking the shoes. Allow them to air dry naturally.
Can I wear these trainers for running or gym workouts?
The flat heel and design focus on casual style make them less suitable for intense activities like running or gym workouts. They are best for walking and everyday wear.

Troubleshooting
Laces are difficult to secure with the cover
Ensure laces are tied snugly but not overly tight before engaging the lace cover. Adjust lacing to find a balance between security and ease of use.
Shoes feel slightly stiff initially
This is common with new footwear. Wear the trainers for short periods indoors to break them in gradually. The materials should soften with wear.
Color transfer on socks or feet
This can sometimes occur with darker dyes, especially when new or if exposed to moisture. Try wearing darker socks or washing the inside of the shoe with a mild detergent and water, then air dry completely.
