FAQs

What is the heel height of these trainers?

The Steve Madden Possession Trainers feature a chunky platform sole with a `7 cm` heel height, providing a significant lift.

Are these trainers suitable for athletic activities?

While they offer comfort and traction, these trainers are primarily designed for `casual and everyday wear` and fashion-forward athleisure looks rather than high-performance sports or intense physical activity.

How should I clean the `mesh panels`?

Gently wipe the `mesh panels` with a damp cloth using a small amount of mild soap. Avoid scrubbing too hard to prevent damage. Let them air dry away from direct heat.

Do I need to size up or down for these trainers?

It is generally `recommended that you order your own size` for the best fit, as they are designed to fit true to size.

What materials are the trainers made from?

The upper material is a combination of `textile and synthetic` materials, engineered for breathability, durability, and a modern aesthetic.

Is the grip effective on all surfaces?

The `chevron-patterned grip` on the platform sole is designed to provide reliable traction on various common surfaces encountered during casual wear, enhancing stability.

Will the chunky sole make them feel heavy?

While the `chunky sole unit` provides a bold look and added height, the design aims to balance style with wearability. They are designed for comfortable everyday use, though they may feel more substantial than minimalist trainers.

Troubleshooting

Trainers feel too tight or loose.

Adjust the `traditional lacing system`. Start from the toe and evenly tighten or loosen each section of laces until you achieve a comfortable, secure fit. Experiment with different lacing patterns for optimal comfort.

Squeaking sound when walking.

This can sometimes occur with new shoes due to friction between materials. Try applying a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch under the insole to reduce friction. Ensure laces are tied securely, as loose laces can also cause squeaks.

Platform sole looks dirty quickly.

Regularly wipe the sole with a damp cloth immediately after wear to prevent dirt build-up. For stubborn marks, a soft brush and mild soap can be used. A shoe sole cleaner specifically designed for rubber can also be effective.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Lacing: Unlace the trainers fully, then re-lace them, ensuring each eyelet is snug but not overly tight. Adjust until the `padded collar` sits comfortably around your ankle and the fit feels secure across your foot.
  2. First Wear: Wear them for short periods initially to allow the trainers to conform to your foot shape.

Compatibility

These trainers are highly versatile, pairing well with a wide range of casual ensembles such as denim, joggers, shorts, and casual dresses. Their `chunky sole` adds a contemporary edge to any look, making them suitable for:

  • Daily casual outings
  • Athleisure fashion
  • Social gatherings

Care

  1. Cleaning: To clean, gently wipe the `textile/synthetic` upper and `platform sole` with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. For mesh areas, use a soft brush if needed. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
  2. Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to maintain their shape and prevent material degradation.
