While offering good comfort and support for daily activities, these trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle rather than intense athletic performance.

Troubleshooting

Slight creasing on leather

Minor creasing is natural with leather footwear and part of its character. Ensure proper fit to minimize excessive creasing. Avoid storing in tightly packed spaces.

Color transfer from red overlays

In rare cases, the red dye may transfer to lighter socks, especially when new or wet. This can often be mitigated by wearing darker socks or applying a leather sealant to the red areas.

Laces becoming worn

Replace laces as needed with standard shoelaces. Ensure they are the appropriate length for the eyelets on the trainers.
