Care Instructions
Proper care helps maintain the appearance and longevity of the sneakers.
- Cleaning:
- Remove loose dirt with a soft brush (e.g., old toothbrush) or damp cloth.
- For tougher stains, use a mild soap or sneaker cleaner mixed with water. Apply with a soft cloth and gently scrub affected areas.
- Wipe clean with a damp cloth to remove any soap residue.
- Do NOT machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the materials and structure of the shoe.
- Drying:
- Allow shoes to air dry completely at room temperature.
- Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators or hair dryers) as these can cause materials to shrink or crack.
- You can stuff the shoes with paper towels or newspaper to help absorb moisture and maintain their shape while drying.
- Storage:
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Keep them away from extreme temperatures.
- Odor Control:
- If odors develop, remove insoles (if removable) and air them out.
- Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors.
