Cleaning: Spot clean visible dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth using mild soap and water. Gently scrub soiled areas. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators, hair dryers, or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation and color fading. Ensure they are fully dry before storing to prevent odor or mildew.
