Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained.
Use a suede brush to gently remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner according to the product's instructions. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
Laces are frayed or worn.
Replace laces with new ones of a similar length and style. You can often find replacement laces at shoe stores or online retailers.
Sole is peeling away from the upper.
For minor separation, a strong adhesive designed for shoe repair may be used. For significant damage, professional repair or replacement may be necessary.
Discomfort or rubbing.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If the issue persists, the trainers may need a break-in period. Consider using heel grips or insoles for added comfort.
