How should I store these trainers to preserve their condition?

Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keeping them in their original box can help protect them from dust and maintain their shape.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For tougher stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner sparingly with a soft cloth and allow to dry completely before brushing.

Laces are worn or dirty

Replace laces with a similar style or colour. Laces can often be cleaned separately by hand washing with mild soap and water.

Midsole shows scuffs

Gently wipe the midsole with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a magic eraser or a mild household cleaner can be used with caution, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.

Interior feels uncomfortable after wear

Ensure you have the correct size. If the issue persists, consider using insoles for added support or cushioning. Allow the shoes to air out between wears.
