Troubleshooting
Visible scuffs on leather surface
Use a specialized leather eraser or a soft cloth with a tiny amount of leather conditioner to buff out light scuffs.
Difficulty maintaining the cream color
Avoid wearing in muddy or rainy conditions and spot-clean immediately after exposure to dirt using a leather-safe cleaner.
Laces coming untied frequently
Use a double-knot or ensure the laces are threaded through all 6 eyelets for maximum tension and security.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your 997R trainers last, follow these guidelines:
- Fit Check: Ensure the 6-hole lace-up system is tightened comfortably but not excessively to allow for natural foot swelling throughout the day.
- Leather Care: As these are constructed from leather, apply a water-repellent spray before initial wear to protect against moisture and light debris.
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For the cream leather surfaces, wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth and a mild leather cleaner; avoid soaking the material.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the cream color to fade or the leather to dry out over time.
