Troubleshooting
Quick-lace system feels too loose or tight
Adjust the toggle lock position carefully. If tension persists, re-thread the lace through the eyelets to ensure no bunching is occurring.
Tongue shifts during walking
Ensure the gusseted wings are pulled flat against the sides of your midfoot when you slide your foot in.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Upon receiving your shoes, utilize the quick-lace toggles to dial in your preferred tension. Ensure the laces are even on both sides before initial wear.
Compatibility: These trainers are intended for casual, lifestyle, and light activity use. They are unisex in design, though sizing is provided in UK increments.
Care: Keep your shoes clean by wiping the upper with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents. For the sole unit, use a soft-bristled brush to clear any debris from the tread to maintain optimal traction.
