Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing after initial wear.
The trainers may require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure socks are worn to minimize friction.
Stiff materials impacting flexibility.
Gently flex the shoes manually before wearing. Applying a leather conditioner to the leather parts can help soften them over time.
