How do I clean the suede parts?
Use a dedicated suede brush for regular cleaning. For stains, a suede eraser or a lightly damp cloth can be effective. Always allow suede to air dry naturally and avoid direct heat.

The N-Ergy cushioning provides superior shock absorption and energy return, offering enhanced comfort and reducing fatigue during long periods of wear.
Can I wear these for running?
These trainers are designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear, offering comfort and support. While they can handle light athletic activities, they are not specialized performance running shoes.

Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using the original shoe box or a breathable shoe bag can help maintain their condition and prevent dust accumulation.
