Troubleshooting
Suede getting wet or stained
Immediately blot with a clean, dry cloth. For persistent stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner or eraser. Allow to air dry naturally and brush with a suede brush.
Laces becoming worn or dirty
Replace laces with standard shoe laces of a similar length. Clean existing laces by hand washing with mild soap and water.
Sole traction appears reduced
Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove any embedded dirt or debris that may be affecting grip.
Discomfort after initial wear
Ensure laces are adjusted correctly for a snug but not tight fit. Wear the trainers for short periods initially to allow them to break in.
