Troubleshooting
Trainers appear dirty quickly.
White trainers naturally show dirt more. Implement a routine spot cleaning after each wear for minor marks, and a deeper clean periodically.
Foot discomfort after long wear.
Ensure you have the correct size. The trainers should fit snugly but not be tight. Consider adding arch support insoles if discomfort persists, or allow for a short break-in period.
Unpleasant odor inside trainers.
Remove insoles to air them out after use. Place baking soda inside the trainers overnight to absorb moisture and odor. Ensure trainers are fully dry before wearing again.
