Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers last, avoid submerging them in water. For daily maintenance, wipe the leather surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dust. If the shoes get wet, let them air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the leather to crack or warp. Use a specialized leather cleaner for stubborn stains. Ensure the laces are threaded properly through all eyelets to maintain even tension across the midfoot for optimal comfort and performance.
