Troubleshooting
Visible dust or dry dirt on the suede

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your shoes remain in optimal condition, avoid exposing the suede material to heavy rain or mud. If the shoes become dirty, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface debris.

Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material fading. Ensure your size is confirmed based on standard UK sizing for the best fit.
