Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too stiff on first wear.
The mixed material upper may require a short break-in period. Wear the trainers for brief durations initially to allow the materials to soften and mold to your foot's shape.
Laces frequently come untied.
Ensure you are tying a firm knot. Consider trying a double knot or an alternative lacing technique, such as a surgeon's knot, for increased security.
Scuff marks on the platform gum sole.
Minor scuffs can often be removed by gently rubbing with a pencil eraser or a damp cloth moistened with a mild soap solution. For tougher marks, specialized sole cleaners may be used.
General dirt or dust on the upper material.
For light cleaning, use a soft-bristled brush (like an old toothbrush) to gently remove loose dirt. Follow up with a damp cloth for any remaining smudges.
