FAQs

What is the heel height of the Steve Madden Possession-E trainers?

The heel height of these trainers is 7 cm, contributing to their distinctive chunky platform sole.

Are these trainers suitable for running or intense athletic activities?

While comfortable and featuring reliable grip, these trainers are primarily designed for casual everyday wear and light athletic activities, not intense running or specialized sports.

What materials are used in the upper construction of these trainers?

The upper material is a blend of textile and synthetic, designed to offer both durability and enhanced breathability with mesh panels.

How do I choose the correct size for the Possession-E trainers?

It is generally recommended that you order your own usual size for these trainers to ensure the best fit.

Can these trainers be worn in wet weather conditions?

The mesh panels provide breathability but are not waterproof. While they offer good traction, they are best suited for dry conditions to protect your feet and the shoe materials.

Does the platform sole provide good traction?

Yes, the distinctive platform sole features a chevron-patterned grip specifically designed to ensure reliable traction on various surfaces, offering both attitude and practicality.

How should I clean the textile and synthetic upper of the trainers?

For cleaning the upper, gently wipe it with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild, diluted soap. Avoid using harsh chemicals which could damage the material.

Troubleshooting

Laces constantly come undone during wear.

Ensure you are tying your laces with a secure double knot. If the issue persists, consider replacing the laces with a material that offers more grip, as some synthetic laces can be smoother.

Trainers feel less breathable than expected, leading to sweaty feet.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks made of moisture-wicking materials (e.g., cotton blends, synthetics designed for athletic wear) rather than thick, non-breathable options. Also, check that the lacing isn't overly tight, which can restrict airflow within the shoe.

The monochrome sole appears dirty or stained and is difficult to clean.

For stubborn dirt on the sole, use a small brush (like an old toothbrush) with a mixture of mild soap and water. Gently scrub the chevron-patterned grip and other areas. For general cleaning, a damp cloth with a mild detergent is effective. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

A squeaking sound comes from the sole when walking.

This can sometimes occur if moisture or air gets trapped between different layers of the sole or between the insole and the shoe's base. Try removing the insole, cleaning underneath it, and then applying a light dusting of baby powder or cornstarch before reinserting. If the sound persists, it might indicate an internal sole issue.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup

Your Steve Madden Possession-E trainers feature a traditional lacing system. To achieve a comfortable and secure fit:

  1. Unlace: Fully unlace the trainers before inserting your foot to ensure proper placement.
  2. Insert Foot: Slide your foot into the trainer, ensuring your heel is comfortably seated.
  3. Lace Up: Begin tightening the laces evenly from the bottom eyelets upwards. Adjust the tension to your preference, ensuring a snug but not overly tight fit.
  4. Secure: Tie the laces securely, preferably with a double knot for extra security during wear. The padded collar will naturally conform to your ankle with use.

Compatibility

These trainers are designed for versatile casual and light athletic wear. They pair exceptionally well with a wide range of casual outfits, including:

  • Jeans, shorts, and skirts
  • Leggings and athleisure wear
  • Casual dresses and jumpsuits

Their chunky silhouette makes a distinctive fashion statement, complementing modern street style and urban aesthetics. While comfortable for walking and everyday activities, they are not specialized running shoes.

Care

Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your trainers:

  • Cleaning the Upper: For general cleaning, gently wipe the textile/synthetic upper with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild, diluted soap. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the materials or alter the color.
  • Cleaning the Sole: For the distinctive platform sole and chevron-patterned grip, use a damp cloth, mild soap, and a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) to remove dirt and grime. Rinse with a clean damp cloth.
  • Drying: Always allow your trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators, heaters, or direct sunlight, which can cause materials to warp, shrink, or fade.
  • Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, when not in use. This helps preserve the material integrity and color.
