Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers fit true to size. To maintain the appearance of the suede and mesh, it is recommended to apply a suede-specific water and stain repellent spray before first use. To clean, avoid submerging the shoes in water; instead, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dust and dirt from the suede panels. For tougher marks, use a professional suede cleaner following the product instructions carefully. Always allow your shoes to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp or harden the suede material.
