Troubleshooting

Suede appears discolored or stained

Use a specialized suede eraser and brush to gently lift the stain. For tougher stains, consider a suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully. Protect the area from moisture.

Leather scuffs or marks

Use a leather conditioner or a product specifically designed for leather shoe care to buff out minor scuffs. For deeper marks, professional leather cleaning may be necessary.

Insole feels uncomfortable after extended wear

Consider using aftermarket insoles or orthotic inserts for added cushioning or support, ensuring they fit within the trainer without compromising the fit.

Sole shows signs of wear

While the rubber sole is durable, excessive wear can impact grip. For significant wear, consult a shoe repair specialist about potential sole repair or replacement, though this may not be cost-effective for all trainers.
