Can I replace the insoles?

How do I clean the suede part of the trainers?

Troubleshooting
Laces are difficult to tighten or loosen
Ensure the eyelets are clear of debris. If laces are worn, consider replacing them with new ones.
Suede appears scuffed or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove superficial dirt. For stubborn marks, use a dedicated suede cleaner following the product instructions.
Insole feels uncomfortable or doesn't fit correctly
Ensure the original insole is fully removed before inserting a new one. If using custom orthotics, confirm they are the correct size and shape for the trainer.
