Troubleshooting
Sizing feels off
Try the trainers with different sock thicknesses. If the issue persists, consult the brand's size chart or consider exchanging for a half or full size up/down based on fit preference and reviews.
Discoloration on suede
Light discoloration can often be addressed by brushing the suede with a dedicated suede brush. For stubborn marks, a specialized suede cleaner may be necessary, always testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
Ensure the insoles are clean and properly seated. While cushioning naturally softens with use, regular cleaning and avoiding extreme conditions can help prolong its effectiveness.
