Troubleshooting
Suede color fading
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and ensure suede protector is applied regularly.
Cushioning feels too firm initially
Wear the trainers for several hours over a few days to allow the cushioning to adapt to your foot.
Laces are difficult to keep tied
Try a double knot or replace the laces with ones that have better grip.
Scuffs on the midsole
Use a damp cloth or a non-abrasive magic eraser for minor scuffs, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
