Care Instructions
Proper care will help maintain the pristine appearance and extend the longevity of your trainers:
- Uppers (89% Leather, 11% Polyurethane):
- Initial Protection: Consider applying a leather protector spray before the first wear to guard against water and stains. Info needed: [Specific leather protector product recommendations.]
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe dirt and dust off regularly with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth.
- Spot Cleaning: For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner applied sparingly with a soft cloth. Always follow the product's instructions carefully and test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Drying: If the trainers become wet, stuff them with newspaper or shoe trees to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, direct sunlight) as this can damage the leather.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a quality leather conditioner to keep the leather supple, prevent drying, and reduce the risk of cracking. Info needed: [Specific leather conditioner product recommendations.]
- Laces: Remove laces for thorough cleaning if they become soiled. They can often be hand-washed with mild soap and water.
- Sole (100% Rubber): Clean the rubber outsole with a brush and mild soapy water to remove dirt and grime, ensuring better grip.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can further help maintain their original shape and prevent creasing.
