Troubleshooting

Laces coming undone during activity

Try a double knot or replace with slightly longer, textured laces if they are too stiff.

Creasing on the upper material

Use shoe trees when not wearing to help maintain the structure and minimize permanent creases.

Outsole collecting debris

The split-outsole design may trap pebbles; simply dislodge them with a dull tool or brush after walking in gravelly areas.

Pros and Cons

  • Versatile and stylish design that pairs well with casual outfits
  • Padded upper provides a comfortable, supportive feel

Cons

  • Not intended for high-performance athletic sports
  • Distinctive design may not appeal to those preferring minimalist footwear
  • Specific colourways may require more frequent cleaning to maintain appearance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these trainers are lace-up models, ensure the laces are adjusted to accommodate your foot volume before the first wear to avoid unnecessary tension on the upper material. For cleaning, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the outsole. If the upper becomes soiled, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as this can compromise the cushioning materials and the structure of the upper. To maintain the shape of your shoes when not in use, keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
