Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Manteca 4 trainers remain in top condition, keep the following in mind:
- Fitting: Utilize the integrated tongue straps by ensuring the tongue is centered before lacing; this creates a 'locked-in' feel that prevents the tongue from shifting while walking or skating.
- Cleaning: As these are constructed from suede, avoid machine washing. Use a soft-bristle brush to gently remove dried dirt and a suede eraser for scuffs. Keep them away from direct heat sources to prevent material cracking.
- Weatherproofing: While the shoes are weather-resistant, applying a dedicated suede-safe water repellent spray can provide an extra layer of protection against heavy rain.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the color from fading.
