FAQs
What type of activities are these trainers best suited for?

Clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or soaking. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat.

Troubleshooting
Discomfort after initial wear
Allow a break-in period of a few wears. Adjust lacing for a more personalized fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
The outsole is designed for general traction. For very wet or slippery conditions, exercise caution. Consider specialized footwear if frequent use in such conditions is required.
Shoe odor
Remove insoles and air dry separately. Use a shoe deodorizer or baking soda inside the shoes overnight. Regular cleaning and airing out will help prevent odor buildup.
