Troubleshooting

Sizing feels incorrect

Try the trainers on indoors on a clean surface. Note that box or label sizing might display US/Euro equivalents. Consult the brand's size guide if unsure.

Suede appears scuffed or dirty

Use a suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. For tougher marks, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap, then let air dry. Consider a suede eraser for stubborn spots.

Outsole feels slippery

Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris. The natural rubber outsole provides optimal grip on dry surfaces. For very wet conditions, exercise caution.
