Cleaning Upper Materials:
Upper materials: Primarily mesh and synthetic overlays (100% Polyester composition). Note: Some product listings may generically categorize material as 'Suede' for other variants or general classification, but for this 'White' variant, the primary upper construction is mesh and synthetic.
Method: Gently brush off any loose dirt with a soft brush (e.g., an old toothbrush).
Spot Cleaning: Mix a small amount of mild soap (like dish soap) with lukewarm water. Dip a soft cloth or sponge into the solution, wring it out, and gently wipe down soiled areas.
Rinsing: Use a separate damp cloth with clean water to wipe off any soap residue.
Avoid: Do not machine wash or submerge in water. Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or stiff brushes, as these can damage the mesh and synthetic materials.
Cleaning Soles:
Wipe the outsoles with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. For stubborn grime, a soft brush can be used.
Drying:
Allow your trainers to air dry completely at room temperature.
Do not place them in direct sunlight, near heaters, or in a tumble dryer, as extreme heat can warp materials and damage adhesives.
Stuffing them with paper towels or newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape during drying.
Storage:
Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
Keep them in their original box or a shoe bag to protect them from dust and dirt.
