Cleaning the Upper (Textile, Suede, Leather):
General Dust & Dirt: Use a soft brush (like a suede brush or old toothbrush) to gently brush off loose dirt.
Stains on Suede: For specific stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner. Always test in an inconspicuous area first. Brush gently afterwards to restore nap.
Stains on Textile/Leather: Mix a small amount of mild soap with water. Dampen a clean cloth (not soaking wet) and gently wipe down soiled areas. Avoid excessive scrubbing.
Deep Cleaning: For persistent dirt, use a sneaker cleaning solution specifically designed for mixed materials. Follow product instructions carefully.
Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole:
Use a damp cloth and mild soap (or a sneaker cleaner) to wipe away dirt and grime from the foam midsole and rubber outsole. An old toothbrush can help clean crevices in the Waffle outsole.
Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage materials.
Protection: Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray, especially to the suede and textile areas, before first wear and periodically thereafter to help protect against elements and spills.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation and color fading. Use shoe trees or stuff with paper to maintain shape if storing for extended periods.
