Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your trainers:
Spot Cleaning: For dirt and stains, gently wipe the synthetic upper and rubber sole with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Air Drying: Always allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials.
Lace Care: Laces can be removed and hand-washed separately if heavily soiled.
Odor Control: To prevent odors, remove insoles (if removable) to air out after use. Consider using shoe deodorizers or cedar shoe trees.
Storage: Store trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
