Troubleshooting
Sizing seems too small
These trainers are noted to run small. Consider ordering one size larger than your usual shoe size. If the fit is still not correct, check for other available sizes or consider alternative models.
Sole feels stiff
The trainers feature an EVA midsole and rubber outsole designed for durability and grip. While initially feeling firm, they will soften with regular wear. Ensure you have the correct size, as an incorrect fit can affect comfort.
Tread wear after moderate use
While the rubber outsole is designed for grip, excessive wear on rough surfaces can occur. For optimal longevity, use these trainers for their intended urban casual wear rather than strenuous athletic activities.
Material discoloration
Avoid prolonged exposure to water and direct sunlight, as these can cause discoloration. Clean with a damp cloth and air dry away from heat to preserve color.
