Cleaning: For the white open knit mesh and synthetic overlays, gently wipe down with a soft brush or cloth dampened with mild soap and cold water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees or stuffing them with paper to help maintain their shape.
Stain Prevention: Given the white color, consider applying a shoe protector spray suitable for synthetic materials to help repel water and stains, following the product's instructions.
