It is best to avoid prolonged exposure to water. If they do get wet, ensure they are dried naturally away from heat sources.

What is the benefit of the Ortholite insole?

Troubleshooting

Trainers feel too tight.

The Elite Active 255 range runs small. It is recommended to consider purchasing one size larger than your usual size for a more comfortable fit.

Soles feel stiff.

New trainers may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow the materials to conform to your foot shape.

Discoloration after cleaning.

Ensure you are using a damp cloth and not harsh cleaning agents. Avoid machine washing and air dry away from direct sunlight or heat to prevent discoloration.

Reduced grip on slippery surfaces.

Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris that may be affecting traction. The textured design offers grip, but performance can be impacted by surface conditions.
