Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort after long wear
Ensure proper lacing, making sure the trainers are neither too tight nor too loose. The removable footbed allows for custom orthotics if you require additional arch support or cushioning.
Suede appears dull or dirty
Gently brush the suede with a specialized suede brush to remove surface dirt and restore its natural nap. For tougher stains, use a high-quality suede cleaner according to its instructions.
Sole losing grip or becoming slippery
Clean the toothed rubber sole regularly with a damp cloth or soft brush to remove accumulated dirt, mud, or debris that can reduce traction.
Laces frequently come undone
Try tying a double knot to secure the laces more effectively. Alternatively, consider replacing the laces with a material that offers better grip, such as cotton or waxed laces.
Trainers feel too warm or lack ventilation
Ensure you are wearing breathable socks, especially those made from moisture-wicking materials. While the textile lining aids comfort, the overall breathability is also influenced by sock choice and environmental conditions.
