Troubleshooting

Sizing feels incorrect

Try the trainers on with the type of socks you normally wear. Remember that sizing can vary between brands and even models; the product description advises trying footwear on before returning as box or label sizes may differ from UK sizing.

Suede looks dull or dirty

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For more stubborn marks, a suede cleaner and eraser can be used following product instructions.

Outsole grip is reduced

Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove any embedded dirt or debris that may be affecting traction.
