Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal performance, ensure you select the correct UK size, as the DON Issue 8 features a standard regular fit. Before your first session, walk in them for a few hours to allow the textile upper to conform to your foot shape. To maintain the grip and longevity of the rubber outsole, avoid wearing the trainers on abrasive outdoor surfaces like asphalt, which can prematurely wear down the tread. To clean, wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap; remove the laces and air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources to prevent material warping.
