Care:
General Cleaning: For light dirt, wipe the leather upholstery with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Leather Care: For deeper cleaning or conditioning the leather, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner. Follow the product's instructions carefully.
Sole Cleaning: The natural rubber sole can be cleaned with a stiff brush and mild soap and water.
Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose to direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to preserve material integrity.
Avoid Submersion: Do not machine wash or fully submerge the trainers in water, as this can damage the leather and internal components.
