Setup, Compatibility & Care
As these trainers come ready to wear, no technical setup is required. To ensure compatibility, verify your UK adult shoe size before ordering, as the 990v4 is offered in a wide range of specific fits. For maintenance, it is crucial to avoid submerging the suede in water. Use a soft-bristled brush specifically designed for suede to gently remove surface dirt. If the shoes become damp, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the material to stiffen or lose its shape.
