Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are lifestyle trainers, no technical setup is required. For compatibility, the size UK 5.5 fit is designed for female adults. To maintain the appearance of the white upper, it is recommended to spot-clean with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing, as this can compromise the adhesives and materials. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading of the collegiate green accents.
