Proper care extends the life and appearance of your trainers:
Cleaning: For the textile upper and textile lining, use a soft brush or damp cloth with mild soap to gently remove dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials.
Odor Control: Remove insoles occasionally to air them out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or baking soda to absorb moisture and smells.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
