No complex setup required. Simply unbox and wear. It's advisable to wear them for short periods initially to break them in and allow them to adapt to your foot's shape. Ensure you've selected your correct UK adult foot size (UK 13 for this specific variant).
Apparel: Pairs effortlessly with a wide range of casual and streetwear attire, including jeans, joggers, shorts, and contemporary athletic-inspired looks.
Activities: Ideal for everyday casual wear, urban exploration, walking, and standing for extended periods. While offering excellent cushioning, they are primarily designed as lifestyle shoes rather than high-performance athletic footwear for intense sports.
Leather Cleaning: For the leather sections, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner, following the product's instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Mesh Cleaning: Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) with a mild soap and water solution to gently scrub the mesh areas. Rinse with a damp cloth.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, which can damage materials.
Protection: Consider applying a protective spray specifically designed for leather and mesh to help repel water and stains, especially during adverse weather conditions.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
