Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on the upper fabric
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dry dirt, then wipe with a lightly dampened cloth.
Laces becoming undone frequently
Ensure they are double-knotted or check for fraying that might suggest it is time for a replacement pair of laces.
General discomfort after long wear
Ensure the laces are tensioned correctly across the midfoot to allow for natural foot swelling during the day.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Shadow 5000 arrives ready for immediate wear. To ensure compatibility with your wardrobe, the neutral color palette works well with denim, chinos, or athletic joggers. To maintain the condition of your trainers, follow these care steps: clean surface stains immediately using a soft brush or a damp cloth with mild soap, avoid submerging them in water, and allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent the materials from warping or degrading.
