Troubleshooting

Difficulty lacing trainers evenly

Ensure the tongue is centered and pull laces uniformly through the eyelets. Adjust tension gradually from the bottom up.

Squeaking sound from shoes

This can sometimes occur with new leather shoes. Try loosening the laces slightly or walking on different surfaces to see if the sound subsides. If persistent, consult care instructions for potential lubrication issues.

Material scuffing or staining

Address stains immediately with appropriate cleaners for nubuck and leather. For scuffs, a specialized leather eraser or cream may help. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.

Discomfort around the ankle

Ensure the laces are not too tight around the ankle area. The strategic ankle padding is designed for comfort, but overly tight lacing can impede this. Try adjusting the lacing pattern.
