Care Instructions:
Cleaning: For general dirt, wipe the textile upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals. For tougher spots, a soft brush can be used gently. Allow to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
Drying: Never put trainers in a washing machine or tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials and adhesives. Air dry them in a well-ventilated area.
Odor Control: Remove insoles periodically to air them out. Using shoe deodorizers or baking soda sachets can help absorb moisture and neutralize odors.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
