What is the warranty period for these trainers?

Troubleshooting
Tight fit upon first wear
Wear the trainers for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Consider using thicker socks during break-in if needed.
Slight squeaking sound
This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and midsole. Try removing the insole and placing a thin piece of paper or talcum powder underneath.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace with new, standard shoelaces. Ensure they are not tied too tightly to minimize stress.
Discoloration of fabric
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean with appropriate methods as described in the care section.
