Cleaning the Upper: For mesh areas, use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) and a mild soap solution to gently scrub away dirt. For leather sections, use a specialized leather cleaner and a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Spot Cleaning: Address spills or stains immediately with a damp cloth and mild soap.

Insoles: Remove insoles periodically and air them out to prevent odors. If needed, hand wash them with mild soap and air dry.
Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
