Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the traditional lacing system. Loosen or tighten the laces evenly across your foot until you achieve a comfortable and secure fit that prevents slipping or excessive pressure. Ensure your foot is properly seated in the shoe.
Slipping on certain surfaces despite chevron grip.
While the chevron-patterned grip provides reliable traction, always exercise caution on wet, icy, oily, or extremely smooth surfaces. Regularly inspect and clean the soles to prevent dirt or debris buildup that could reduce grip effectiveness.
Upper material appears dirty or stained.
Gently wipe the fabric/synthetic upper with a soft, damp cloth. For more persistent stains, use a small amount of mild soap diluted in water, applied with the cloth. Blot gently, then wipe with a clean damp cloth. Always air dry thoroughly away from direct heat.
Padded collar feels uncomfortable or rubs.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks that cover the ankle area. Re-check your lacing to ensure it's not too tight or too loose around the ankle. Over time, the padded collar should conform more to your foot shape for enhanced comfort.
