Troubleshooting
Velcro straps losing stickiness
Clean the debris and lint from the hooks and loops using a small brush or tweezers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Saucony Shadow Original Trainers maintain their aesthetic and structural integrity, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, allow 2-3 days of light wear for the leather to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry brush to remove loose dirt from the mesh. For the leather sections, use a damp cloth and specialized leather cleaner. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from drying out or the colors from fading.
- Compatibility: These are designed for neutral gait patterns; they are best suited for lifestyle and casual use rather than intensive athletic performance training.
