Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup

- Sizing: Ensure you have selected the correct UK size (e.g., UK 7.5 for this variant). Always try on both shoes to confirm fit, considering space for socks.
- Lacing: Adjust laces to your preferred comfort and security. Proper lacing can enhance support and prevent slippage.
Compatibility
This sneaker's versatile design makes it compatible with a wide range of styles:
- Casual Apparel: Pairs effortlessly with jeans, chinos, shorts, and casual trousers.
- Athleisure Wear: Complements tracksuits, joggers, and activewear for a sporty yet refined look.
- Seasonal Versatility: Suitable for year-round wear, though the suede upper may require extra care in wet conditions.
Care
To maintain the quality and appearance of your 991v2:
- Cleaning Suede: Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove dirt. For tougher stains, use a suede cleaner, applying sparingly with a clean cloth. Allow to air dry completely, away from direct heat.
- Cleaning Mesh & Synthetic: Wipe gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage materials.
- Drying: Always air dry your sneakers. Do not machine wash or put in a dryer, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to prevent material degradation and discoloration.
- Protection: Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray suitable for suede and mixed materials to help protect against elements.
