Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Consider exchanging for a half or full size larger, as these trainers are noted to run small. Ensure laces are fully loosened before trying on.

Squeaking noise when walking

This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try wearing them for a few days to allow them to break in. If the noise persists, check for any debris inside the shoe or between the sole and the upper.

Difficulty cleaning suede material

Use a soft-bristled brush specifically designed for suede to remove surface dirt. For stains, consult a professional leather and suede cleaner or use a specialized suede eraser.

Sole feels stiff

The EVA midsole and rubber outsole are designed for support and grip. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to flex and conform to your foot's natural movement.
