Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise from shoes
This can sometimes occur due to moisture or friction within the shoe. Try removing the insole, drying both thoroughly, and then reinserting the insole. Talcum powder or a sprinkle of cornstarch under the insole can also help absorb moisture and reduce noise.
Uneven wear on the sole
Ensure you are walking with a natural gait. Uneven wear can sometimes indicate an issue with foot mechanics or that the shoes are not the correct fit. Check if the sole's cushioning is still adequate; if not, consider replacing them.
Cracked leather details showing excessive wear
Gently clean the area with a soft, damp cloth. For minor scuffs, a leather conditioner specifically designed for aged or distressed leather may be used sparingly. Avoid over-conditioning, which can alter the intended appearance.
Discomfort during long wear
Ensure the laces are tied correctly, providing a snug but not overly tight fit. If the discomfort persists, consider using alternative insoles that offer more arch support or cushioning tailored to your needs.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to gently clean the surface. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, especially on the cracked leather details, to prevent damage.
- Cleaning the Midsole: Wipe the segmented midsole with a damp cloth. For visible foam areas, a dry brush can help remove loose dirt.
- Lining and Insoles: If the insoles are removable, follow specific cleaning instructions for them. Otherwise, a gentle wipe with a damp cloth is usually sufficient. Ensure the shoes are aired out properly after cleaning to prevent odors.
- Drying: Air dry the trainers at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can degrade materials. Never put them in a washing machine or dryer.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box, to protect them from dust and damage.
