What is the purpose of the reinforced TPU heel?
The reinforced TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) heel is designed to provide extra stability and support to the heel area, helping to lock the foot in place.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

Troubleshooting
Suede appears discolored or stained
Use a suede eraser for light stains. For tougher stains, consult a professional suede cleaner. Ensure suede areas are protected from moisture.
Laces become worn or dirty
Replace laces with standard shoelaces of a similar length and color. Clean existing laces by hand washing with mild soap and water.
Reduced cushioning over time
The EVA midsole's cushioning may lessen with extensive use. Consider using aftermarket insoles for added support and comfort if needed.
