Cleaning:
Remove Loose Dirt: Brush off any dry mud or dirt with a soft brush (an old toothbrush works well).
Mild Soap Solution: Mix a small amount of mild soap (like dish soap) with warm water.
Gentle Scrub: Use a cloth or sponge dipped in the soapy water to gently wipe down the mesh upper and synthetic overlays. For stubborn spots, use the soft brush.
Rinse & Dry: Wipe off soap residue with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
Air Dry: Allow shoes to air dry completely at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials.
Insoles: Remove insoles periodically to air them out and clean separately if needed.
Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve materials and color.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents, bleach, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the shoe's materials and finish.
