Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your trainers:
Cleaning the Upper:
Gently brush off any loose dirt with a soft brush.
Mix a small amount of mild soap with cool water.
Dampen a clean cloth with the soapy water and gently wipe down the mesh and leather sections.
For stubborn marks on leather, use a specialized leather cleaner.
Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they can damage materials.
Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole:
Use a brush or an old toothbrush with soapy water to scrub dirt from the rubber sections.
Wipe clean with a damp cloth.
Drying:
Always air dry your trainers at room temperature.
Avoid direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight), as this can cause materials to warp or crack.
You can stuff them with paper towels or newspaper to help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
