FAQs
What is the primary material of the LIGHTSHIFT 2.0 trainers?
The trainers feature a technical mesh upper with suede overlays.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These trainers are designed primarily for everyday casual wear and light activities. While they offer cushioning, they may not provide the specific support and structure required for intense running.
How should I clean the suede parts of the shoe?
Gently brush the suede with a suede brush to remove dirt. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner, testing it on a small, hidden area first. Always allow them to air dry.

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are not overtightened. If still uncomfortable, consider if the size is appropriate or if the shoe needs a brief break-in period.
Suede material looks dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove superficial dirt. For stubborn marks, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow its instructions carefully.
Lack of support during long walks
While designed for comfort, these trainers offer moderate support. For extended periods of high-impact activity or if significant arch support is needed, consider adding aftermarket insoles.
Soles feel slippery on wet surfaces
The rubber outsole provides reliable traction, but all rubber soles can be less effective on extremely wet or polished surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.
