What does it mean that this product supports the RISE initiative?

How should I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
For general cleaning, use a suede brush. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Avoid soaking the suede in water.
What is the main benefit of the EVA outsole?
The sugarcane EVA outsole provides ultra-lightweight cushioning, contributing to all-day comfort and wearability.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the suede can be treated with protectant sprays, it's generally advisable to avoid wearing suede shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, consult a specialized suede cleaning kit and follow its instructions carefully.
Laces get dirty
Remove laces and hand wash them with a mild detergent and water. Allow them to air dry completely before re-lacing.
Discomfort after initial wear
Allow a brief break-in period. Wear the shoes for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time as they conform to your foot.
Water damage to suede
Blot excess water immediately with a clean cloth. Allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the texture. Consider applying a suede protector spray to help prevent future water damage.
