Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers require no special setup out of the box beyond standard lacing adjustments to suit your personal comfort preference. To ensure longevity, keep the shoes away from prolonged exposure to extreme moisture, which can damage the suede fibers. If the suede becomes dirty, use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove debris. For the mesh areas, a soft cloth with mild soap and water is sufficient. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can degrade the adhesives used in the sole construction. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
