Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your trainers:
General Cleaning: For the synthetic upper, wipe regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap (if necessary). Avoid harsh chemicals.
Suede Areas: For suede sections, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, apply a suede cleaner according to its instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators), as these can damage materials and adhesives.
Odor Control: Remove insoles periodically to air them out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the trainers overnight.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Stuffing with paper can help maintain their shape.
Avoid Machine Washing: Machine washing is not recommended as it can compromise the materials, cushioning, and adhesives, potentially damaging the trainers.
