Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight or small
As the product notes suggest, consider sizing up half a size if you are between sizes or have wider feet. You can also try adjusting the bungee lacing to its loosest setting.
Suede material looks dirty or stained
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, apply a small amount of suede cleaner with a cloth, following the product's instructions. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
Laces are difficult to adjust
Ensure the bungee cord is not tangled or knotted. Gently pull the toggles to tighten or loosen the fit. If the bungee mechanism seems stiff, a very small amount of silicone-based lubricant might help, applied cautiously.
Outsole feels stiff or uncomfortable
The EVA cushioning may require a brief break-in period. Wear the trainers for short periods initially to allow them to mold to your feet. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks.
