Troubleshooting

Velcro strap losing grip

Ensure the Velcro surfaces are clean. Brush away any dust, lint, or debris from both the hook and loop sides with a small brush or toothbrush. If the issue persists, the Velcro may be worn out.

Material discoloration

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading. Clean the shoes regularly according to care instructions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for unisex adult wear and are compatible with a wide range of casual apparel. They are best suited for paved surfaces and general everyday use.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the textile upper with a slightly damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
  2. Cleaning the Sole: Use a damp cloth or a soft brush to clean the sole. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  3. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
