Steve Madden Trainers - Possession E - Multicolor - UK 7

No, the Steve Madden Possession E Multicolor Trainers are designed primarily for casual fashion wear and comfort, not for high-performance athletic activities like running or intensive sports. Their construction and platform sole are optimized for style and everyday walking.

To get the best fit, start by loosening all laces, then gradually tighten them from the toes upwards, ensuring an even tension across your foot. Tie them securely but not so tightly that they cause discomfort or restrict movement. The padded collar should feel snug but not constricting.

No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials, adhesives, and structure of the trainers, particularly the mesh and chunky sole. For cleaning, gently wipe them with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry.

While the platform sole gives a distinctive chunky look, it is designed to be as lightweight as possible while maintaining durability and support. It provides attitude without excessive bulk, making them comfortable for everyday wear.

For optimal comfort and to complement the style, we recommend wearing athletic or casual socks that rise above the padded collar. This helps prevent rubbing and enhances the overall comfort of the shoe.

Generally, Steve Madden trainers are considered true to size. For this specific model (UK 7), we recommend purchasing your usual UK shoe size for the best fit. If you are between sizes, consider trying the next half size up for comfort, especially if you plan to wear thicker socks.

The Steve Madden Possession E trainers provide a comfortable footbed and a stable platform sole, offering moderate arch support suitable for casual, everyday wear. For individuals requiring specific or custom arch support, an additional insole may be used if space allows.

Adjust the traditional lacing system. Loosen or tighten laces systematically from the toe upwards to find your ideal secure and comfortable fit. Experiment with different lacing patterns if needed.

Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly, which can restrict circulation. Check that the padded collar is positioned correctly around your ankle. Consider wearing appropriate socks that offer additional cushioning.

Clean the chevron-patterned grip on the sole with a damp cloth and a soft brush to remove any accumulated dirt or debris. Regular cleaning helps maintain optimal traction.

Gently clean the mesh and overlays with a soft, damp cloth and a small amount of mild, color-safe soap. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that could strip the color or damage the fabric. Air dry completely.

This can sometimes be caused by air trapped in the sole or friction between parts. Check if the insole is properly seated. If the issue persists, ensure the trainers are completely dry inside, as moisture can sometimes cause squeaking.
