The upper is constructed with a mix of breathable mesh and PVC accents, offering both comfort and durability.

How should I clean the mesh parts of the trainers?

Gently wipe the mesh with a soft cloth dampened with cool water and mild soap. Allow them to air dry naturally.

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the materials and construction. Hand cleaning as described in the care instructions is the preferred method.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight

Loosen the laces and try re-lacing them more loosely, focusing on midfoot pressure. Ensure you have selected the correct size based on your foot measurement; consider a larger size if you are between sizes.

Slight discomfort during initial wear

This is common with new shoes. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Ensure socks are appropriate for athletic footwear.

Dirt or scuff marks on the upper

Use a soft, damp cloth with a mild soap solution to gently clean the affected areas. For PVC accents, a damp cloth should suffice. For stubborn marks, a soft brush can be used carefully.

Traction feels reduced

Clean the rubber outsole with a brush to remove any embedded dirt or debris that may be affecting grip.
