How should I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
Use a specialized suede brush for dry dirt. For stains, spot clean gently with a damp cloth and mild cleaner suitable for suede, or seek professional cleaning.

Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or matted
Use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, consult a professional suede cleaner.
Laces becoming worn or frayed
Replace laces with standard trainer laces of a similar length and color. You can find replacements at most shoe or accessory stores.
Reduced grip on the outsole
Clean the rubber outsole thoroughly with water and a brush to remove embedded dirt or debris that might be affecting traction.
Discomfort during extended wear
Ensure the laces are adjusted for a snug but not overly tight fit. Check that the size is correct and consider using cushioned insoles if additional comfort is desired.
