Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your trainers:
Uppers (60% suede, 40% textile): For suede areas, gently brush off loose dirt with a dedicated suede brush. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully. Avoid scrubbing aggressively. For textile areas, a damp cloth with mild soap can be used for spot cleaning. Allow shoes to air dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight.
Lining (100% textile): Can be spot cleaned with a damp cloth if needed.
Sole (100% rubber): Wipe clean with a damp cloth.
General Advice: Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Avoid submerging the shoes in water. Consider applying a suede protector spray before first use and periodically thereafter to help repel water and stains.
