Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers are designed for a standard fit consistent with your usual UK shoe size. To ensure longevity, keep them away from harsh conditions that could damage the linen fibres. For cleaning, wipe away surface dirt with a soft, dry brush immediately after use. If deeper cleaning is necessary, use a mild soap solution specifically formulated for delicate fabrics, taking care to avoid soaking the material. Always air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent the linen from shrinking or discolouring.
