How often should I clean my trainers?

Clean your trainers as needed, especially after strenuous activity or if they become visibly dirty. Regular spot cleaning will help maintain their appearance and longevity.

Troubleshooting

Slightly tight fit upon first wear.

Wear the trainers for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in period if the fit is snug.

Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces.

Clean the outsole to remove any debris. Note that rubber outsoles can have reduced grip on very wet or slippery surfaces; exercise caution.

Discoloration or scuff marks on the black upper.

Gently clean affected areas with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn scuffs, a magic eraser can be used cautiously, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
