Spot Cleaning: For minor dirt and scuffs, use a damp cloth with mild soap. Gently rub the affected area.
Suede Care: For suede sections, use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. Avoid using water directly on suede as it can stain.

Sole Cleaning: Use a brush or damp cloth to clean the white rubber foxing tape and outsole.
Drying: Always air dry at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can damage materials.
Avoid Machine Washing: Do NOT put these trainers in a washing machine or dryer, as this can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe.
Deep Cleaning (Infrequent): For tougher stains, use a dedicated shoe cleaning kit appropriate for both canvas and suede materials. Follow the product's instructions carefully.
Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use.
