Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff upon arrival.
This is normal for new trainers. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time to break them in. Consider wearing thicker socks during the break-in period.
Laces come undone frequently.
Ensure laces are tied securely using a strong knot. You can also consider replacing the laces with a textured or waxed pair for better grip.
Soles showing signs of wear.
For moderate wear, consider professional sole repair. For significant wear, it may be time to consider a replacement pair.
Dirt and scuffs on the black and white material.
Use a magic eraser or a specialized shoe cleaner with a soft brush to gently remove scuffs. For fabric areas, a damp cloth with mild soap can be effective.
