Troubleshooting

Bungee laces feel too loose.

Slide the toggle further up the laces to tighten. Ensure the toggle is firmly engaged.

Tread appears worn after moderate use.

This is normal wear for casual trainers. For extended durability, limit use to everyday activities rather than rough play.

Material scuffs easily.

Clean scuffs promptly with a damp cloth. A leather protector spray can offer some resistance to minor marks, but these are casual trainers and may show wear over time.
