What does LWG certification mean for the leather?
LWG (Leather Working Group) certification indicates that the tanneries meet environmental standards related to energy and water consumption, wastewater management, and air emissions.
Can I put these trainers in a washing machine?

Troubleshooting
Suede appears matted or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner.
Shoes feel stiff initially
This is common with new suede and leather. Wear them for short periods initially to break them in, or use a shoe stretcher if needed.
Discoloration from water exposure
Allow shoes to dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore texture. Consider using a suede protector spray proactively.
Laces are dirty
Remove laces and hand wash with mild soap and water. Allow them to air dry completely before re-lacing.
