Compatibility: These trainers are designed for general male footwear sizing, ranging from grade school to adult UK sizes. They are compatible with standard casual wear.

Care: To maintain the pristine condition of the black suede and white accents:

  1. Cleaning Suede: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and debris. For tougher stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid using water directly on suede as it can cause discoloration and stiffness.

  4. Protection: Consider applying a suede protector spray to help repel water and stains.
