Proper care will help extend the life and maintain the appearance of your trainers:
Cleaning the Upper: For the lightweight textile upper and synthetic overlays, use a soft brush or a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap. Gently scrub soiled areas. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the materials.
Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: A brush or damp cloth can be used to clean the lightweight foams, GEL technology, and rubber outsole, removing dirt and debris.
Drying: Always air dry your trainers naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight, radiators, or tumble dryers, as excessive heat can deform materials and degrade adhesives.
Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape.
Avoid Machine Washing: Do not put your trainers in a washing machine, as this can damage the structural integrity and materials.
Rotate Footwear: If possible, rotate your trainers with other footwear to allow them to air out and recover, which can extend their lifespan.
