Troubleshooting
Slight stiffness upon first wear
Wear the trainers around the house for short periods to break them in. The leather will naturally soften with use.
Difficulty cleaning stubborn dirt
Use a soft-bristled brush and a mixture of mild soap and water. For tougher stains on leather, a dedicated leather cleaner is recommended. Avoid soaking the shoes.
Uneven wear on soles
Ensure you are walking with a natural gait. If the issue persists, it might indicate an underlying fit problem or an unusual wear pattern that professional advice may be needed for.
