Do these trainers come in other colors?

What is the purpose of the platform midsole?

Troubleshooting
Suede becoming stiff after cleaning
Gently brush the suede with a suede brush once fully dry to restore its texture. Avoid over-wetting the material.
Discomfort from the platform sole
Ensure the laces are properly adjusted for optimal support. Break-in the shoes gradually with short periods of wear.
Metallic details showing minor scuffs
Minor scuffs on metallic details are normal wear and tear. For significant damage, professional repair might be considered, though usually not cost-effective for footwear.
Insole not feeling cushioned enough
Ensure the insole is correctly positioned. If significant wear is noticed, consider replacing the insole with a compatible aftermarket one.
