Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or too loose.

Ensure you have the correct size. Adjust the lace tension. For tightness, try loosening the laces, especially in the forefoot area. For looseness, tighten laces and ensure a secure knot.

Trainer materials (suede/mesh) appear dirty or stained.

For mesh, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. For suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt and a suede cleaner for stains, following the cleaner's instructions. Always air dry.

Sole traction seems reduced.

Check the outsole for any embedded debris (e.g., small stones, mud) and clean it thoroughly. Ensure the lugs are free from accumulation. If the sole is worn smooth, it may be time to consider replacement.
