Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your suede and mesh trainers.
- Initial Protection: Consider applying a suede and fabric protector spray before first wear to help repel water and stains.
- Regular Cleaning: Use a soft brush (a dedicated suede brush works best) to gently remove dirt and dust from the suede and mesh panels. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede.
- Spot Cleaning Suede: For minor marks on suede, use a suede eraser. Gently rub the eraser over the mark. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner can be used, following product instructions carefully.
- Cleaning Mesh Panels: For the mesh, a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water can be used to gently wipe away dirt. Avoid saturating the material.
- Drying: If your trainers get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the suede.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Immersion: Do not machine wash or submerge these trainers in water, as it can damage the suede and adhesives.
