How do I protect the suede from rain?
It is highly recommended to apply a protective water-repellent spray specifically formulated for suede and nubuck leather before the first wear.
What is the primary material used in the upper?
The upper is constructed from a high-quality blend of textile and suede materials.

Stubborn marks on the light grey upper
Gently dab with a specialized suede eraser or a damp cloth with a mild leather cleaning solution; avoid vigorous scrubbing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers feature suede elements, avoid getting them soaking wet. To maintain their appearance, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dust and dirt from the suede panels. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized suede cleaner or a light damp cloth, but avoid submerging them in water or using harsh detergents. Compatibility-wise, these trainers feature a standard fit; it is recommended to wear them with thin or medium-thickness socks to preserve the interior space provided by the synthetic insole.
