Troubleshooting
Leather or nubuck appears scuffed or dirty
Use a soft brush or a specialized nubuck eraser for scuffs on the nubuck. For leather, use a damp cloth and a mild leather cleaner. Always test cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area first.
Laces becoming worn or frayed
Replace laces with a similar color and material to maintain the original aesthetic. New laces can be purchased from most shoe retailers or online.
Slightly tight fit
Wear the trainers with thicker socks for a short period to help them stretch slightly. Alternatively, consider using shoe stretchers if the tightness is persistent.
Midsole speckling appearing to fade
This is generally a cosmetic feature. Avoid abrasive cleaning methods on the midsole to preserve the speckled effect.
