Troubleshooting
Discoloration on suede
Wipe gently with a damp cloth and allow to air dry. For stubborn stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner.
Laces becoming worn
Replace laces with standard trainer laces of a similar length. Ensure they are threaded correctly.
Reduced comfort over time
Ensure the trainers are a proper fit. Clean the insoles if possible, or consider aftermarket insoles for added support.
Material scuffing
For minor scuffs on suede, try brushing gently. For synthetic or midsole scuffs, a magic eraser or mild cleaning solution may help, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
