Troubleshooting
Trainer feels tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. If slightly tight, try wearing them with thinner socks initially or use shoe stretchers for a gradual stretch.
Horsehair trim appears matted or dirty
Gently brush the horsehair with a soft, dry brush. For stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry completely.
Laces are worn or damaged
Replace laces with standard flat shoelaces of a similar length. Ensure they are tied securely for a proper fit.
Soles are losing grip
Clean the rubber outsole thoroughly to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that might be reducing traction.
