Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Your Fred Perry B721 Trainers arrive ready to wear. Simply unlace them to your desired comfort level, slip your feet in, and then lace them up. Ensure the lacing is snug but not too tight to allow for natural foot movement and blood circulation.
Compatibility
These trainers are designed with a classic, versatile aesthetic, making them highly compatible with a wide range of wardrobe styles:
- Casual Attire: Perfect with denim jeans, cotton shorts, or casual trousers.
- Smart-Casual Looks: Can be dressed up with chinos, tailored shorts, or even lightweight blazers for a sophisticated, relaxed ensemble.
- Socks: For optimal comfort and hygiene, wear with appropriate socks. Invisible socks are great for a minimalist look, while crew socks can add a subtle style statement.
Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the premium appearance of your B721 Trainers:
- Initial Protection: Before first wear, apply a high-quality leather protector spray. This creates a barrier against water and stains.
- Regular Cleaning (Leather): Gently wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner, following the product's instructions.
- Sole Cleaning: Use a brush or damp cloth with a mild soap solution to clean the rubber sole. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the rubber.
- Drying: If your trainers get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help retain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can cause the leather to crack or discolor.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
- Avoid Submerging: Do not machine wash or submerge the trainers in water, as this can damage the leather and internal components.
