Proper care helps maintain the appearance and functionality of your trainers:
Cleaning the Upper: For the textile upper and lining, spot clean with a mild soap and a damp cloth. Gently rub affected areas, then wipe with a clean, damp cloth to remove soap residue. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Cleaning the Sole: The rubber sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and grime. A soft brush can help with textured areas.
Drying: Air dry trainers away from direct heat or sunlight to prevent material degradation. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
Light-Up Feature: Important: Avoid submerging the trainers in water, as this can damage the internal light-up components. Avoid excessive exposure to rain or puddles. The lights are not rechargeable or replaceable, so gentle use helps prolong their life.
