Cleaning:
Surface Dirt: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove loose dirt from the upper and sole.
Stubborn Stains: Mix a small amount of mild soap with water. Apply to a soft cloth or brush and gently scrub stained areas.
Rinsing: Wipe away soap residue with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid submerging shoes in water.
Insoles: Remove and hand wash insoles if necessary, allowing them to air dry completely.
