Soles or stitching show wear

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for unisex adult use and pair well with a wide range of casual attire, including jeans, shorts, skirts, and casual dresses. They are suitable for all genders.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Uppers: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt and scuffs. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
