How should I clean the foam sections?

Troubleshooting
Sizing feels off
Try wearing thicker socks or consider that retro releases may have slight variations from modern sizing. Consult specific size charts or reviews if possible before purchasing.
Creasing on leather upper
Some creasing is natural with leather. To minimize it, avoid overtightening laces and use shoe trees for storage to help maintain shape.
Scuff marks on foamposite sections
Gently wipe with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, a magic eraser can be used with caution, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
